Will Europe Hit a Demographic Tipping Point?
The best hope for the youth of France, according to a recent New York Times op-ed, is, well, to get out of France. Youth unemployment in France is running at 26%. No wonder some might believe their best opportunity lies elsewhere, including their old colony of New France (Quebec).
But this punishing level of unemployment is only slightly worse than the EU-wide rate of 23%. Countries like Spain and Greece have astonishing youth unemployment rates of nearly 60%. What does the future of these countries’ youth look like? Or their adults for that matter? Maybe it’s a future on another continent, including former colonies.
