Over the last twenty years, youth unemployment has become a major issue of the French labour market situation. This explains the increasing public intervention in the labour market targeted to young people. This paper tries to shed some light on two main aspects of the youth labour market situation: the impact of the minimum wage on the youth unemployment and the adequacy of qualifications acquired at school to the needs of firms. It compares also the unemployment situation among young people and adults, so as to identify the specific features of the former.
