> **Visual Context:** The image, titled "French pensioners now have higher incomes than working-age adults," is a dot plot showing the relative income level of over-65s compared to a working-age average of 100 across various countries. France leads at around 100, followed by Italy (~98), Norway (~88), Canada (~87), US (~86), Germany (~85), UK (~80), Netherlands (~78), Sweden (~77), Denmark (~76), Japan (~73), and Australia (~68), illustrating that French seniors outearn the working-age average while countries like Australia have the lowest relative senior incomes. This data supports the post's claim that France's generous pension system allows retirees to earn more than younger workers, highlighting the unsustainable fiscal burden of supporting an aging population in Western democracies.
