In France, young people and recent graduates are facing difficulties regarding employment and housing. In Brittany, the Info Jeunes network is offering guidance for those seeking part-time or short-term work in sectors including hospitality, childcare, cleaning, and retail.

In Lyon, graduates entering the long-term rental market are dealing with a competitive environment. Rent control measures in Lyon and Villeurbanne, active since November 2021, allow tenants to ensure rent stays within legal ceilings set by the Rhône prefecture. There are currently proposals to extend these regulations beyond their scheduled 2026 expiration.
