Re: Some more context (none / 0)
I'm trying to read one of the OECD reports from last year on employment protection and it appears that a key difference between Ireland and France is that France restricts the applicability of temporary fixed-term contracts.

The indices are, of course, chosen to make their point ...

Re: Some more context (none / 0)
"restricts the applicability"?

A fixed-term contract in France can't go beyond six months, and you can't line up more than three of them in a row (ie 3x6 = 18 months). If you want to keep the same employee on after that, you have to offer an indefinite contract.

Is that what you meant?

Restricted to "objective situations" (replacement, seasonal
work, temporary increases in company activity). The maximum
duration of 18 month in principle but can vary from 9 to
24 months. A new contract on the same post can only start
after a waiting period amounting to one third of initial contract.
