France has seen many changes in the second half of the 20th century, and two fundamental trends in work:- the shift away from agriculture which employed 38% of the working population in 1946 but 6.4% in 1990 and
- the rise in unemployment: 1.4% in 1950, 12% in 1995.
There have been major changes in the structure of the working day with the increase in part-time employment, shorter hours and job-sharing. |
