Default Re: By All Means Shed Some Light on the Situation

[ QUOTE ]
How does France go about straigtening out their immagration policy? And if the economic system in France does not contribute to the situation, why is the unemployment rate so high in France overall and much higher among young Muslim males 25 or less? I've read that the unemployment rate for Muslim males 25 or less is around 40%.

France's economic policies are not radically different from the rest of Europe's. (And bear in mind that the current government is right wing! The opposition are the Socialists.)

The problem is that the larger part of the immigrants lack the necessary education and qualifications for decently paying jobs, leaving them with mostly manual and non-specialized jobs (which, for the most part, pay basic wages or below) to choose from. And usually there is no problem filling those jobs in view of the many candidates for them.

A huge and relatively sudden influx of young, non-specialized and relatively uneducated young men in any society would cause problems, if not overwhelm it.
