I can tell you that European countries are more involved in working time. France, for example, has intervened a lot in terms of the reduction and organization of working time. Belgium and the Nordic countries, such as Norway and Sweden, have also intervened in this respect. So I think that yes, there can be incentives.

That said, in my opinion, the role of the state, from this point of view, is not indeed to replace organizations or companies, but rather to offer incentives. Indeed, aging workers are discriminated against—this is very clear—and have difficulty returning to work. In fact, at the moment, I am working with employability organizations, with the aim of helping workers to return to work.

For example, in the 60 to 65 age group, and even in the 65 to 70 age group, especially in the context of high inflation or labour shortages, I think that offering various incentives, financial or otherwise, is very important. However, when you do surveys...
