Socialist Chickens?
Big Fat Baby - Made Outta Gravy!
France’s 30-somethings are furious about a lack of opportunities. And the older generation is just as angry at calls for over-50s to give up their lifestyles ...for the first time in recent history French citizens between the age of 20 and 40 can expect a lower standard of living than the one before, largely because the previous generation have decided not to share.
...The truth is that the generation that profited from the rapid economic growth and the expansion of the state and public industries in the decades between 1960 and 1990 - and from the new levels of meritocracy and social mobility won by the student revolts of 1968 - is now ageing.
