Youth employment and housing resources in France

Young people in France, particularly students and recent graduates, are navigating challenges regarding employment and housing. In Brittany, the Info Jeunes network provides resources and guidance for those seeking part-time or short-term work in sectors such as hospitality, childcare, cleaning, and retail.

In Lyon, graduates entering the long-term rental market face a competitive environment. Rent control measures in Lyon and Villeurbanne, which have been in place since November 2021, allow tenants to verify that rent does not exceed legal ceilings set by the Rhône prefecture. There are currently proposals to extend these rent control regulations beyond their original 2026 expiration date.
