Are there any currant issues or problems in France???

Question

I need to write an essay on an issue or problem in France but I just can't find anything worth writing about! do you know of anything or where i could look on the internet for some information?? please help!!

Answer 1

Absolutely!

Here are several - Currently, France is having severe economic problems brought about by a robust social/welfare system with declining tax revenues.

They have an immigration problem that is leading to a large number of lower-paid workers who are still drawing from that system without paying in as many taxes as higher-paid workers.

These immigrants are not assimilating into French culture and are setting up areas within France that are 'no-go' for the French Government. This leads to hundreds of cars being burned every night in France and even more during riots, which are frequent.

Here are some links where you can read up about this:
These should get you started. You can do searches on a lot of the information too.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

No. No problems in France...

Remember the race riots just recently? The car burnings every night? Relations between African and other immigrants and French natives are very tense and it's a timely subject. Write about and research that.

Answer 3

I did a Google "current issues in France" and found these two interesting. Good luck with your project.

Answer 4

They love to have riots and protests and have lots of them all of the time. Also, they are having huge immigration problems and racism (especially against Arabs).

Answer 5

Excessive smoking and the rate of lung cancer
