- einpoklum 7y agoMaybe the French don't under-count Employment like they do in many other countries; see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment#Alternatives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment#Alternatives
- user5994461 7y agoRest assured, they undercount employment like every other country.
- skitout 7y agoNote that 35h did not applied to everyone, relabeled some paid break time as unpaid work time... Most importantly it was "sold" by allowing companies more flexibility with the workers... gain in productivity, more pressure (and a bit of more overtime) explain why the impact on unemployment had not been massive. This is totally different than what happen with pension scheme. If people work more years, it means more people for the same "stock" of job at first... So more unemployment at least at short and medium term.
