France's top constitutional body has cleared the raising of the state pension age from 62 to 64.
The Constitutional Council has rejected calls for a referendum by political opponents, however it said some articles of the controversial reform have legal flaws.
Twelve days of protests have been held against the reforms since January.
In March, the government used a special constitutional power to force through the reforms without a vote.
President Emmanuel Macron's government argues the changes are essential to prevent the system collapsing.
