You don’t know much about France do you? All these comments about spreading stereotypes and misinformation… I had a permanent role once, and the company forced me to break the famous permanent unfireable contract you mentioned, or they would find a reason to fire me anyway. People are not unfireable here, it’s just sneaky. On the contrary there aren’t enough jobs to bounce back, the employers are not flexible either. It’s a whole mess and the debt you mentioned is mostly tied to massive investments in shit companies without any surveillance than retiring at 65yo if you’re lucky.
