From a french guy : We are so late on this. imo, it's just an adjustment compare to other country (like US). There is also a lot to do to change the mentality, because the crowd don't believe in "entrepreneurship" and prefer to work directly in big company.

    Ah that was not Liberation, but inrocks instead... but I may have read something similar in the Liberation since they are so very much in the same line of thought: http://www.lesinrocks.com/2010/09/26/actualite/ils-ont-decide-de-ne-plus-travailler-1125542/ http://www.lesinrocks.com/2010/09/26/actualite/ils-ont-decid... For English speakers out there, the title means "they decided not to work anymore" That's what you get for giving out welfare without setting any expectations to the person who gets it: people abusing the system.

      Thanks. I don't think that article glorified anything though.

        Well, when 95% of the article supports one idea and only the last 10 lines mention the potential issues with it, I call that very biased at the least.

        The article says they can't afford proper food and have no social life...

        That's because they can't find jobs or they chose not to work. Either way, who's to blame for this? Surely not the hard working wealthy. Oh wait....

        It's more like they choose not work, most of the time, and live off society.

from a Indian guy, planning on coming to France for Higher Studies: France is sprinting now, when others are exhausted (USA, UK, China, India).. France is where it is right now.

  I'd like to know your sources, and wear your rosy glasses. As a French student, I'll leave the country at the first occasion. We are heading into a big, thick wall and we'll lose more than the pigeons when we go bankrupt.

    If everyone saw that side window opening at the same time, the term 'pioneer' would not have been coined.
- tekahs 13y ago
  Maybe, but I'm not so sure. Why do you believe that ? (Examples, or whatever)
  - rikacomet 13y ago
    Well, Its the actual changes in law, like this particular article here today, 10 steps announced by the French Govt. Over last 1-2 years, France has been working pretty hard... on this, lot of opportunities to capitalise on. This year itself, I attended a tour-de-India, by cultural groups from France, it was a really big thing, a clear intent. Its more like, you might know something is cool, before its cool. The same way, people would laugh at the overpriced education in US/UK, 20 years back in India.. we will see how it goes.. I know clearer than a day, that at the first opportunity, I'm going to France.

  There are surely more Frenchmen settling in China right now than Chinese or Indians wanting to come and set up a business in France. I have no idea where you get impression it works the other way around.
