Temporary work more skilled in France. Aged 24 in average, French temporary workers mostly start temporary work after being unemployed (54 percent). A major change, more students and graduates turn towards such assignments. “In France, there are fewer and fewer low-skilled workers and more intermediate workers or executives. Qualification levels tend to get higher. We’ve already noticed this in our national statistics on a broader scale” explained François Roux, Prisme general representative. Because of the economic crisis and the worsening labor market conditions, fewer temporary workers had a fixed-term contract before their first temporary mission (44 percent). The Prisme points to the “pragmatic” dimension of temporary work: 3 in 4 temporary workers take on assignments “to have work quickly,” while 46 percent do it with a training logic – getting a first experience or diversifying their skills.
