CLEAN : France braces for record unemployment

The video discusses the dynamics of the active workforce, highlighting the annual influx of 800,000 young workers and the departure of 650,000 seniors, resulting in a net increase of 150,000 workers. This situation, coupled with job destruction, leads to inevitable unemployment, especially in a zero-growth economy. The video emphasizes the importance of considering macroeconomic factors when addressing youth unemployment and suggests that France could benefit from adopting Germany's stronger education-to-work pathways. It also critiques France's fiscal policies, which have reduced economic growth by two points over two years, suggesting that limiting these policies could boost growth and employment.
