Workers in france enjoy more labour protection and perks than in many other advanced economies, but this doesn’t mean they are immune to erosion of the post-war labour model. In fact, according to France Strategie’s latest study, the use of temporary contracts has increased significantly since the 1980s.

Temporary workers are employed by an agency that provides them with work and pay for a specified period, known as an assignment. They are also eligible for certain benefits, such as an end-of-contract indemnity. In addition, if their employment with an agency ends without being renewed, they may be eligible for public unemployment benefits.  This link https://euworkers.fr/

Temporary Work and Skills Development: Building a Career Path in France

The use of fixed-term and temporary contracts has a number of social consequences: it prevents people from obtaining stable jobs, limits their professional training, and can cause problems with access to housing and credit. It can also result in frequent periods of unemployment, particularly for those who obtain only this type of contract.

A growing proportion of people in france are on temporary contracts – with short contracts making up almost a third of total employment – compared to only 10% on permanent contracts. Some choose temporary work for transitory reasons (such as a career break or home move) while others do it because they believe it gives them greater freedom and higher wages than permanent employment. In either case, it is important to remember that the use of short contracts in france is a political decision.
