Two-thirds of French pessimistic picture of a society concerned for its future
Thomas Wieder
When the horizon is dark, the time is not the call of the open sea . This is the main conclusion of the study on " France in ten years " BVA controlled by the Government Information Office and general strategy and prospective service , and made of 16 to 19 October by telephone with a sample of 1,083 people representative of the French population aged 15 and over.
Not surprisingly, this study paints a picture of a company worried about its future. When asked to imagine the situation of France in ten years , 67% of respondents say indeed " pessimistic " , and even 25 % " very pessimistic ."
INCREASE OF INEQUALITY
Several factors feed this gloom. One is purely economic , and for growth . They are only 18% predict a recession in ten years, the French do not imagine for many real bounce : 46% of them , growth will be "weak" at best , while 26 % think it will be " zero " . It is easier to understand in this light , the difficulty that François Hollande to be believed when he says that the recovery is "there" : given how the French are considering the future of the economy , such a message can hardly be heard.
Another factor of concern is societal . When asked what they fear most in ten years , nearly a quarter of the French cite " growing inequality in society," well before " the rise in raw materials" and " debt of the United " . More unequal , this company appears to them as more fragmented . 72% of respondents , the " different groups that make up France " live well " with tension." If the study does not specify the nature of these groups , however, it puts the purely " identity " dimension of anxiety. Only 11 % of respondents cite indeed " tensions related to diversity " as the main fear for the future.
To meet these challenges , the French rely on local solutions . A very large majority , they want as well as municipalities, counties and regions have more power . Again, this is hardly a surprise: in times of crisis , people are turning more to what seems close to that which seems distant to them, in this case the State and the European Union, they 55% hope that they have less power .
NATIONAL TUCK
From this point of view, the time has come to national decline. With the exception of immigration , energy , innovation and the environment , the major areas of policy should be in the eyes of respondents , supported primarily by the French government, begin by social protection (75%) , employment ( 70%) , budget and taxation ( 67%).
On the Future of Europe, which they expect mainly that guarantees peace , the French are however divided into four parts roughly equal : only 26 % want a closer integration of the only countries in the area euro , which corresponds to the direction set by the head of State , 21% are in favor of further integration in the EU in general , 28 % want a simple cooperation, while 23% are outright supporters the end of the EU. Six months before the European elections, it is not certain that such fragmentation of opinion encourages political parties to clarify their ambitions for Europe.
