This is being spurred by a new employment law known as the "new jobs contract," it is meant to increase employment among less privileged youths by making the labor market more flexible. However, it does away with classic protections. (ie. it allows someone to be fired in the first 2 years after being hired GASP!) Students fear the jobs law will leave youths more vulnerable than before, and eat away at long-standing measures that protect employees as France attempts to better compete in a global market.
