The French generation crisis

France is facing a generation crisis. Indeed, between the CPE strikes and those for the retirement system, it is finally a generation fight. Seniors want to retire, but they are asked to work longer and younger want to work but they cannot find a job.

How can we get out from this situation? The issue is money : either we pay retirement or we pay redundancy, anyway we have to chose a side. There seems that our French government has chosen to pay for lay-off rather than for retirement. Maybe it is easier since Senior are less vindicativ. The result: fire amoung young people for the CPE.

It is high time for France to find a right balance to its issues.
