STUDY Evaluation of the impact of the European "Youth Employment Initiative" programme 2015 April 2016 Summary of the national evaluation report of the YEI This document is a synopsis of the national evaluation report of the Youth Employment Initiative in France. The Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) was set up by the European Union to combat youth Key figures unemployment and to speed up delivery of the European Youth Guarantee. This specific fund The YEI in France: receives matching funding from the European Social Fund (ESF) and is intended for Member State regions with youth unemployment rates in excess of 25%. It is intended to fund €622 million YEI + ESF initiatives to help "NEETs", young people Not in Education, Employment or Training.. In 2012, 16 territories in France qualify (13 the baseline year for YEI eligibility, the NEET rate in France was 12.5% - more than 900 000 Regions and 3 Departments) young people - and the youth unemployment rate for young people aged 15-24 was 24.5%. 1 Specific YEI National Operational 16 territories are eligible for YEI funding: 13 regions (Aquitaine, Auvergne, Centre, Programme, administered by the Champagne -Ardennes, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Upper Normandy, Languedoc-Roussillon, central government Martinique, Mayotte, Nord Pas-de-Calais, Picardy and Reunion) and 3 departments 12 multi-funded ERDF-ESF-YEI (Bouches-du-Rhône, Haute-Garonne and Seine Saint-Denis). Regional Operational Programmes, administered by the Regional France received funding of €310.2 million specifically from the YEI fund, with a matching Councils €312 million coming from the ESF This package of €622 million was split between the specific YEI National Operational Programme (70% of the funds), administered by the French General Delegation for Employment and Vocational Training (DGEFP), and 12 multi-funded ERDF-ESF-YEI Regional Operational Programmes (30% of the funds), administered by the Regional Councils of the territories qualifying for YEI funding. The specific YEI National Operational Programme also covers two components: a "central" package administered by the French General Delegation for Employment and Vocational Training (DGEFP) to fund national schemes, and a "decentralised" package managed by Direccte-Dieccte (territorial delegated management authorities). €188 million YEI -ESF funding €434 million YEI-ESF funding administered by the Regional administered by the DGEFP Councils National Regional YEI ESF YEI ESF contribution contribution €216 €218 €38 million €94 €94 ~ €70 million 58% million million million million €622 millionRegion YEI+ESF funding This study is co-financed by the European Social Fund as part of the "Youth Employment Initiative" national 1 operational programme EUROPEAN UNION Focus on the evaluation methodology This YEI evaluation is one of the statutory obligations in the area of evaluation of European funds. Throughout the programme period (2014-2020), the management authorities are actually responsible for evaluating the efficacy, efficiency and impact of their programme schemes. In France, the 13 management authorities involved in the YEI decided to join forces to produce a single study in 2015. The Delegation for Employment and Vocational Training (DGEFP) has full financial responsibility for this evaluation, while the 12 Regional Councils that manage the YEI were members of the steering committees of the study and were involved in the validation of all its stages. Given the progress of the YEI and the data available, the 2015 evaluation is a theory-based impact assessment: it must enable the intervention approach, implementation and expected impacts of the YEI in France to be analysed. This theory-based approach is complementary to the so-called "counterfactual" approach, and seeks to understand "why, how, for whom and under what conditions the YEI may have an intentional or unintentional impact". This 2015 evaluation must also contribute to the preparation of the evaluation of the YEI's impact on young people, planned for 2018. The evaluation is organised around 3 major stages: . A work preparation stage (September-October 2015), with scoping interviews at national level with the different departments of the DGEFP and national partners and operators. A first work seminar with the management authorities was held in October 2015. A "field" stage in 12 territories (October-December 2015), covered by the YEI National Operational Programme and a Regional Operational Programme. During this phase, interviews were held with the Regional Councils, regional government, and operators involved in the implementation of the YEI. A second work seminar was held in January 2016, to discuss the lessons of the evaluation and to develop recommendations. A work finalisation and deliverables preparation stage (December 2015-May 2016). A symposium in May 2016 provided the occasion for release of the evaluation results. This evaluation is based on qualitative and quantitative data collection. Interviews held at national level and in the territories were used to analyse the different approaches of the management authorities, partners and operators in the implementation of the YEI. In all, over 140 interviews took place: 74 beneficiary operators; 23 Regional Council departments or services; 26 DIRECCTE departments or services; 16 central government departments or services and 2 European Commission services. The objective elements were based primarily on data from "Ma démarche FSE" (the software used to monitor the initiatives of the national operational programme). There was, however, no reliable and consistent data source for the regional operational programmes in late 2015. The analysis of the first pathways of the young people involved Data collectionData in the YEI is highly fragmented and is mentioned for information only: YEI funded initiatives have been set up but some will not begin until 2016 and data entry in "Ma Démarche FSE" may also be subject to delay for some operations. The data in this document should therefore be interpreted with caution. More generally, as the programme schemes were only partly under way, much of the data was not yet available or was incomplete as at 31/12/2015. 2 By the end of 2015, most of the French YEI-ESF funding package was allocated To help its many young NEETs swiftly, France undertook to apply the whole YEI-ESF package allocated to it before 31 December 2015. To date, almost all the funds have allocated (84% of the French YEI-ESF package). In the national YEI operational programme, the package was quickly allocated - 94% of the central component package was allocated to major national schemes while 71% of the decentralised component package was allocated via the involvement of operators through calls for projects. However, programme progress varies from one Direccte to another: while most territories have managed to allocate the funds, some Direcctes have experienced more difficulties, because of the tight schedule, the restrictions of the IEJ funding tool (resulting in difficulties mobilising operators) and a risk of service "saturation". For the regional operational programmes, implementation is also at an advanced stage, particularly for Regions that chose to allocate all (or a significant portion) of their funding package to Regional Training Programme initiatives or other pre-existing schemes. 97% of the YEI-ESF package allocated to the Regional Councils was therefore used by the end of 2015. The majority of the YEI-ESF funding package was used for enhanced support initiatives (48% of the French package), mainly funded by the national YEI operational programme. These enhanced support measures are largely sponsored by local youth centres (Youth Guarantee and support schemes funded by Direccte), but also by community associations, local authorities, public/private industry organisations. The next largest amount was allocated to training expenses (31% of the French package), mainly funded by the Regional Councils (Regional Training Programme initiatives, qualification pathway schemes, etc.), but to an extent also by the Delegation for Employment and Vocational Training (funding of Emplois d'Avenir training at national level). The proportion of the packages assigned to initiatives for the identification of young NEETs was lower (less than 3% of the French package). Ultimately, in the French Overseas Territories, the YEI funding has mainly been for specific pathway and qualification access schemes: the French/Overseas territories school leaver support bodies.

  • France Background
    The World Factbook Europe :: France Introduction :: France Background: France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. It plays an influential global role as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, NATO, the G-8, the G-20, the EU and other multilateral organizations. France rejoined NATO's integrated military command structure in 2009, reversing de Gaulle's 1966 decision to take French forces out of NATO. Since 1958, it has constructed a hybrid presidential-parliamentary governing system resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier, more purely parliamentary administrations. In recent decades, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the introduction of a common currency, the euro, in January 1999. In the early 21st century, five French overseas entities - French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, and Reunion - became French regions and were made part of France proper.

  • Introduction
    Chapter 1 Introduction It is often forgotten, on both sides of the English Channel, that the Norman linguistic territory is a fragmented one. The defeat of King John of England’s army at Rouen in 1204 at the hands of the French king, Philippe Auguste, led to the separation of the Duchy of Normandy into two domains, with the Norman mainland formally becoming part of the kingdom of France and the Channel Islands henceforth maintained in allegiance to the English Crown. This territo- rial split has now lasted for more than 800 years. The fracture had no immediate linguistic repercussions. Contact was main- tained between mainland and insular Normandy via fishing and other trade activities. However, despite these links, the fact remained that, after 1204, apart from occasional periods when English force of arms detached areas from French control (see Chapter 2), the two Norman territories found themselves governed by opposing powers, who frequently played out their differences on the battlefield. As the centuries progressed, mainland and insular Normandy found themselves on different sides of an ever-widening linguistic gulf, with Norman co-existing alongside two of Europe’s most influential standard lan- guages, namely French and English. Contact with their powerful linguistic neighbours has produced similar out- comes on the mainland and in the islands. Norman has undergone significant territorial contraction and speaker reduction and has witnessed the breaking down of its diglossic relationship with the local standard language as similar social factors, including demographic movement, intermarriage and stigma- tization, have contributed to the loss of Norman from its former strongholds, such as the family domain.

  • Rambles in Normandy
    Rambles in Normandy By M. F. Mansfield Rambles In Normandy PART I. RAMBLES IN NORMANDY CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTORY “ONE doubles his span of life,” says George Moore, “by knowing well a country not his own.” is a good friend, indeed, to whom one may turn in time of strife, and none other than Normandy—unless it be Brittany—has proved itself a more safe and pleasant land for travellers. When one knows the country well he recognizes many things which it has in common with England. Its architecture, for one thing, bears a marked resemblance; for the Norman builders, who erected the magnificent ecclesiastical edifices in the Seine valley during the middle ages, were in no small way responsible for many similar works in England. It is possible to carry the likeness still further, but the author is not rash enough to do so. The above is doubtless sufficient to awaken any spirit of contention which might otherwise be latent. Some one has said that the genuine traveller must be a vagabond; and so he must, at least to the extent of taking things as he finds them. He may have other qualities which will endear him to the people with whom he comes in contact; he may be an artist, an antiquarian, or a mere singer of songs;—even if he be merely inquisitive, the typical Norman peasant makes no objection. One comes to know Normandy best through the real gateway of the Seine, though not many distinguish between Lower Normandy and Upper Normandy. Indeed, not every one knows where Normandy leaves off and Brittany begins, or realizes even the confines of the ancient royal domain of the kings of France.

A DEBATED ISSUE IN THE HISTORY OF PEOPLE AND WILD ANIMALS The Wolf Threat in France from the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century * Jean-Marc MORICEAU Abstract : For a long time, the wolf danger came from rabid animals, as well as predatory ones. During more distant periods, there were undoubtedly more humans devoured by predatory wolves than bitten by rabid ones. “Crisis periods” can be discerned: the 1596-1600 period, at the end of the French Wars of Religion, saw a remarkable number of attacks. It is during the 1691-1695 period that the highest peaks can be observed. This makes it easier to understand the resonance that the publications by Charles Perrault – Little Red Riding Hoods and Little Thumblings – might have had during this period.

  • Benoît Cœuré: the Local Impact of the European Central Bank's Monetary
    Benoît Cœuré: The local impact of the European Central Bank’s monetary policy Speech by Mr Benoît Cœuré, Member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank, at Les Champs du Possible, Châteaudun, 4 October 2018. * * * It is a great pleasure to be here in Châteaudun and have the opportunity to exchange views with you. The ECB Governing Council, which sets monetary policy for the euro area, benefits from such dialogue in two very important ways.1 The first is that it enriches our understanding of the state and the drivers of the economy. Earlier today, I had the opportunity to meet with local high school students. I also visited a company that exports its products to Europe and the wider world. In a currency union with 19 countries, policymakers are always at risk of focusing too much on the big picture and overlooking local reality. The second benefit is that such visits to local communities enable us to explain our actions. We are accountable to the 340 million people living in the euro area, so we have a responsibility to clarify what we do and why we think our actions are appropriate. So that is what I would like to do in the next 15 minutes. In particular, I would like to talk about the role of the ECB’s monetary policy in the current economic expansion and describe how it has helped to foster employment and growth in the euro area as a whole, and also here in Eure-et- Loir. And, perhaps even more importantly, I will also set out what monetary policy cannot do, and how sustainable growth crucially depends on growth and job policies decided at regional, national and European level.
