How does unemployment effect young people in France?

It seems to me that it affects people differently depending on their initial economic and social status.

Unemployment among the poor, non-white, mainly Muslim, kids of the banlieues has resulted in violent disaffection characterized by a distrust of all government authority.

Unemployment among many more affluent, middle class white kids seems to breed a desire to become government employees, a stronger belief in the need for government solutions, and therefore, a socialist political attitude.

Of course, as the election of Sarkozy demonstrates, this is not universal and many younger people of my acquaintance are convinced that there needs to be a fundamental change in French attitudes towards work, decision making and economic organization.

It can affect every young people in France, not only strangers or emigrates,or Muslims, or non-white (i disagree with the other answer ..... !!)
Even if you are graduated you can have a lot of difficulties to find a job in your domain (except if you study marketing, health, informatics ..)

-If they cannot pay their rent, they have to go back (or stay) live in their parents/ family home.... not so great way to go !
