A recent report by Apprentis d’Auteuil reveals that 76% of young adults in France have declined job or training opportunities due to mobility issues. Key factors include lack of accessible transport (61%), personal transportation (56%), and high travel costs (54%). For those who have dropped out of school or lack jobs, the impact is even greater, with 80% citing transportation difficulties. The study highlights the importance of driving licenses, with 66% reporting academic or job-related setbacks due to mobility issues. Recommendations include enhancing financial aid for driving permits and improving public transport access.
