Is being maried and having kids a specific French problem? I don't and that's part of the trick, you can't blame the country or whatever when you consciously took decisions that might hinder your bottom line. And being maried with kids is very uncommon for a young talented developer in this country, we get married and have kids later in life than in the US. That's the post i was answering to. For famillies there are other stuff to funel state money to their pockets.

Being unable to have a decent living space and being unable to start a family are not specific French problems, but they are quite prevalent in France. It's pretty bad that it's becoming the new normality for a lot of people. And I think a lot of people will have to continue lowering their expectations until they get close to mere subsistence + a few trendy gadgets to keep them busy.

    Nobody is reducing the problem to developers. It's a problem most of the youth have.
