Dialogue for Advancing Social Europe - DIADSE - Country report: France

This report presents the findings from research carried out in 2015-2016 according to the objectives of the international project 'DIADSE – Dialogue for Advancing Social Europe'. We examined developments in France with regard to labour law reforms and social dialogue in the period of 2008-2015, with an emphasis on the effects of the socio-economic adjustments undertaken in this period and the role of the social partners in designing and implementing these reforms. The aims of the report are: setting the context for explaining the latest labour market reforms; explaining political factors triggering these reforms; and analysing the positions of the social partners or other socio-economic organisations in the reform processes (involvement, consultation, or opposition).
