German demography cannot be described as the solution to French youth unemployment, as though one could rest on a slogan such as: “They lack young people, our young people lack jobs – what a perfect match!” This widespread sentiment irresponsibly assumes that time is working in favor of France, regardless of whether it implements structural reforms.
当然，鉴于工资过低且人口趋势不利，德国仍将继续遭遇困难。但像某些法国人那样片面强调问题却纯粹是逃避现实的表现。德国的人口问题不能作为法国年轻人失业的借口，就像一幅标语所说：“他们缺年轻人，我们的年轻人缺工作——真是绝配！” 这样的普遍情绪不负责任地假设无论是否进行结构改革，时间都会对法国有利。
