Who Is Still Finding Some Meaning in Their Work ?

In 1990, 60% of French people considered work to be “very important in life.” By 2021, that number had dropped to just 24%—a decline of 36 percentage points! The importance of family has also decreased, but only by 10 points, while leisure has gained in significance. Does this reduced commitment to work translate into a loss of purchasing power, or is it rather the perception that “work no longer pays enough” that is weakening the value placed on work?
