Why are the young leaving France ?

Val says It is a big accessible world, surely it is only natural that young people want to stretch their wings, simply because they can. They can in England, Spain America etc. and they do. Our children work globally, how many of us have children in the States for example?
Does a lack of jobs and high taxes really explain why more and more French people, especially young ones, are heading abroad.
That means some 60,000-80,000 French people head through the departure gates each year. And they plan to stay away longer and longer, with about 38 percent of French expats, up from 27 percent in 2008, expecting they’ll be abroad for more than a decade.
