Considering that the unemployment rate for young post-secondary graduates was only 8 per cent in the mid 1980s, whereas the average rate for the young was 25 per cent (INSEE, Données Sociales, 1993, p. 146), it can be suggested that the concentration of unemployment among the young was in the groups with secondary schooling or less, just as it was in older groups.

In Europe, the secondary system was organised around vocational education on the premise that young men with mechanical experience and young women with secretarial and other service skills would be assured career jobs.

In the USA in the first four months of 1994, new business incorporations hit a record annual rate of 737 000 and the average self-employed worker earned about 40 per cent more per hour than those working for someone else. In addition, capital invested by the self-employed in their own businesses can pay high returns compared with most other investments. See Business Week, 17 October 1994.
