Actually, Jerome, what does Part des combinations etude-emploi (stages, cursus en alternance...) actually mean, exactly? The mention of stages in particular makes me suspect we're misinterpreting the data.

I seem to remember commenting on this when this graph first came out here. This is about people doing study and work in a vocational training context where the work is part of the training. These might be internships tied to a course of study; or "alternance", referring to a legally-defined system of work interrupted by periods of study, leading to a professional qualification.

In other words, if you're saying this graph isn't about students who also have part-time jobs to get by, you're right.

As to whether these students are included in the employment figures, I don't know. I suspect some may be listed as students, others as having a job, depending on the type of course they're doing.
