Abstract	This study examines youth integration into the labour market in France. In the first part, a diagnosis of youth over-unemployment from the point of view of their particular position on the labour market is presented. The high concentration of young people in insecure jobs (CDD and temporary work) explains their job-unemployment sensitivity to the economic cycle. Due to labour market segmentation, young people are integrated into sectors with a high labour rotation rate or in less skilled jobs. The second part of this analysis describes demographics in France and the role of the education system, both of which help to explain the significant drop in the number of working youth in the past 30 years and, in the meanwhile, the sharp rise in the proportion of young graduates. In the third part, the position of young women is examined in light of the inertia in both educational and professional career choices, but also the existence of job discrimination. The fourth part examines the hypothesis of excessive labour market rigidity and suggests potential responses, although these hypotheses have been called into question by the crisis. In the fifth and last part, the role of public policy in youth professional integration is re-examined, emphasising numerous potential levers of action. (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku).
