Economic Survey of France 2007
added: 2007-06-27
With short-term prospects somewhat brighter, and budgetary prospects improved, this year’s Survey looks at some long term challenges. The performance of policies for education and those for poverty and social exclusion is satisfactory or better in many areas, but cost-effectiveness can be improved and more focus on employment is needed. Policy has begun to prepare for the economic impact of population ageing, but there is no room to relax in seeking to contain fiscal costs and to increase employment among older workers.
