Précarité, the word that brings millions of young French people out into the streets, is the norm there. Forget about a pension big enough to retire on-you have 40 years to figure that out. Health care is more problematic, since getting sick puts you on the fast track to poverty. If you're unlucky, your employer runs out of money to pay you. If you're really unlucky, you get caught...
