The youth employment is a chronic illness that has plagued France for a long time. From his arriving in power,President Macron has worked hard to find a cure to the problem. He believes that strengthening youth vocational training and enabling young people to have a skill is an important part of solving the youth unemployment problem. His youth employment policy also seeks to break through on the basis of inheriting the original measures. The promulgation of the Law “For the Freedom to choose one’s professional future”,the reform of the Apprenticeship system and Professional Training,the launch of the “Anti-poverty Plan” and the improvement of the Youth Guarantee and Revenu de solidarité active(a French form of welfare benefit)are the main measures taken by President Macron. Since most of the measures are implemented for a short period of time,many of the corresponding contents have not yet been worked out or are still under negotiation. The effectiveness of these measures still needs to be watched. Solving the youth employment issues may require deeper thinking and change.
