Submission statement: France, and its pensions.
> “Contrib PC” is a transfer from the education ministry into the bank account that pays out the pensions of retired civil servants. The expense is categorised in the French budget as spending on education, but is actually going to today’s retirees.
> In August, Lattanzio’s take-home pay was €2,662.27. The direct contribution to pensions by his employer – the French education ministry – was €2,896.08. An additional €351.63 was also deducted from his pay for pensions as well.
