Employing senior citizens

This opinion continues on from work carried out by the Cour des comptes (Court of Auditors) over recent years on assessment of public policies in favour of employment of senior citizens. The mixed assessment of the Generation Contract published in the Courts annual report for 2016, the search for explanations as to why the scheme failed to “achieve lift-off ”, and, finally, the decision to abandon it constituted departure points for thought on the part of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council.
