Abstract

The Personal Training Account (CPF) reform has been presented as one of the major innovations of the September 5, 2018 "Act for the freedom to choose one's future career." In fact, it marks an important moment for the French system of continuing training, marking the transition from a system heavily regulated by collective actors toward an individualized system largely centered on the free play of competition and the market. The reform has three explicit objectives: rendering persons autonomous in their choice of training, reorienting training offers in line with increasing qualifications, and reducing inequalities in access to training. Are these achievable objectives? Here we argue that although the reform was designed and implemented by economists, it is precisely economic reasoning that may suggest they are not.
