Question 15616 — young people

Summary

Mr. Thierry Frappé alerts the Minister of Labor and Solidarity to the very worrying situation of youth unemployment in France. In the first quarter of 2026, the national unemployment rate stood at 8.1%, its highest level since 2021, up 0.7 points year-on-year. But it is young people who are the most penalized: the unemployment rate for 15-24 year olds stands at 21.1%, up 2 points over one year, more than one young worker in five are unemployed. This number reflects a labor market where the incorporation of young people, particularly the least qualified, is structurally difficult. Furthermore, the situation is further aggravated by the pessimism of employers: only 9% of them plan to increase their workforce in the next twelve months. France is a little above the average in the euro zone, far behind Germany, with an unemployment level of 3.9% which questions the true effectiveness of employment policies. He questions him on the concrete measures that could be implemented to facilitate the professional integration of young people, on possible reinforcements of the France Travail system allowing better support and on the way in which France would intend to catch up with Europe on an issue which directly involves the future of a generation whole.
