Most millennials were living alone in 2018, and 2.7 million were registered in higher education during the 2019-2020 academic year. While their decision on what career path to choose is based on their understanding of their own wishes, many have an optimistic outlook about their professional future, as the unemployment rate for young people in France has been declining overall since 2015, reaching around 20 percent in 2020.
There are some discrepancies between the age groups, but common ground was found in 2019: French people, when asked how they were to describe millennials, thought of them as being individualistic, which was the same way millennials viewed themselves.
While some might welcome a digital break, 62 percent of young people could not imagine going on vacation without their smartphones, which implies that surfing activities are taking place on their mobile internet rather than riding waves on the beach. Other than technology, French fashion is not a topic to be taken lightly. France is one of the most popular fashion hubs in the world, and most millennials aged 18 to 30 spend an average of 400 to 500 euros per year on clothing.
However, staying trendy, finding an adequate position in today's society seem difficult as traditional values are shifting, and employment models are restructuring themselves. Being an in-between generation, many experience a psychological impact (stress, mood swings, anxiety) on their well-being when dealing with challenging times.
