Most millennials were living alone in 2018, and 2.6 million were registered in higher education to gain better qualifications for the competitive job market. 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 future, as the unemployment rate for young people in France has been declining since 2015, reaching about 21 percent in 2018.
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 being one of the most popular fashion hubs in the world. With 13 million young people aged 19 to 35 amongst 66.8 million people living in France, most millennials aged 18 to 30 spend an average of 400 to 500 euros 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.
