France Proposes Audiovisual Public Service Reforms
French presidential candidate proposes reforms aimed at increasing employment rather than necessarily increasing working hours. The candidate noted that France's population participation in the workforce is lower than in neighboring countries. Reforms to unemployment insurance were previously proposed. Health insurance will no longer be free for non-working spouses, except for couples with a child under 7 years old. The government expects these measures to save 16.3 billion euros. Proposals for the effective reform of public audiovisual services including France Télévisions and Radio France are expected between May 5 and May 9. The plan includes one billion euros in savings allocated to public audiovisual services. Proposed measures include the suppression of France 4 and the Mouv' station on Radio France.
