Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I must not be reading the same charts.

I see 79% or so for that cohort in UK, 75% for France. Unemployment - 5% in UK, 13% in France, an eight point difference, offset by roughly half via inactive differential.

Agreed on the in school statistics for 19-24, and my unesco figures are only obliquely addressing this.

Unemployment means nothing, just forget about it :)

Employment level is quite close, and don't forget that part time is circa 25% in the UK vs 17% in France  (43% vs 31 for women).

The UK and France situation are very similar except than France went for the 35 hours work-week and UK for the 20 hours work-week :).
