MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR JOB CREATION

What price the 35-hour week? 

by MARTINE BULARD

   On 1 January 2001 the 35-hour week will come into force in France
   for companies of more than 20 employees. A year later it will be
   compulsory for all firms. The first preparatory act, passed by
   parliament in May 1998, set up a programme of financial assistance
   to employers to help them phase in the 35-hour week before it
   becomes mandatory. In October parliament will begin debating a
   second bill, already agreed by the Council of Ministers at the end
   of July, under which employers would no longer have to increase
   their workforce to qualify for this assistance. Meanwhile, the new
   flexible working arrangements are making labour conditions worse;
   and a project that had brought hope to millions is fast losing any
   economic or social impact.
