Starting A New Life In France


Moving to France

France is one of the great powers of the European Union and has attracted much interest from foreign residents looking to move abroad. This country certainly has a lot to offer both in terms of employment and daily life and freedom of expression is deeply rooted the basis of law and the French culture. Here are some of the reasons why the expatriate community living in France is growing every day.

French culture
 

France is one of the true world cities, taking in a variety of different cultures - which in the past has led to a series of internal conflicts. The country is highly localized to certain elements of religion and popular culture in different areas.

The country is well known for his love of the arts and architecture and has a long history and large, in revolutions, wars and major changes in the way the country is governed. Excess governing the right to freedom of expression has attracted a number of out spoken and controversial figures in the political arena, with all sectors of society in discussion.

Jobs in France

France was for many years a private sector company with more than 2.5 million companies registered in the country. However, the government still maintains control over major industries, including defense, transport and insurance and banking, albeit slowly, but surely they are loosening their grip.

The work arena is still suffering the days of mass unemployment there over 30 years, France has the lowest percentage of 15-64 years of work across the developed world. Unfortunately, the fiscal situation in France is much more difficult than other European counterparts, with up to 60% of gross wages to be diverted to the French State Benefit System. It is a requirement of French law that you or your employer to register with the authorities as an official worker in France - Non-compliance can lead to serious consequences for your travel and living in France.

New Life In France

The property market in France has always been much more stable than, for example, the UK market (and many other European partners). The last decade has seen a large number of European residence to move to France, where property prices are on average substantially lower.

Interiors of the city is obviously the most expensive, with property prices much lower field. Widely property prices fluctuate one less worry when looking to move to France.

State benefits in France

France has one of the budgets of most of the benefits of profitable state and expansion in the developed world, with little hope of this changing trend in the immediate future. The country has a protective benefit systems of labor across Europe, with unemployment well rewarded for their lack of real income.

Unemployment benefits, income support and maternity pay are just some of the major costs for state benefits system. The government is committed to spending millions of euros to encourage the unemployed to return to work, but with the benefits system rooted in French society, it will be a long term project.

However, this leaves a potential for foreign nationals to find employment in France, with the certainty that they will be supported by the state if they were to lose their jobs at any time in the future. Although there are real gaps in the labor market, which can be exploited by foreign workers, the downside is the tax situation.

This requires careful planning and an appreciation of the culture of this great disparity nation.
