Pension increase for children converted into a flat-rate amount

For pensions taking effect from 1 July 2027, the article would replace the pension increase for children, currently proportional to the pension, with a flat-rate amount identical for women and men, set by decree and uprated like pensions (new Art. L. 173-1-6 of the CSS, Social Security Code). An additional flat-rate increase varying with the number of children would be provided in the civil service and seafarers' schemes.
