title: [The working population should continue to rise for a decade].
abstract: Future trends in the size and characteristics of the population of working age in France are analyzed using data from official sources.  "The future working population is expected to comprise even fewer young people and more women than today. This population should continue to grow and will probably have risen by one and a half million people by 2006, essentially for demographic reasons. The trend should subsequently reverse due to the first post-war generations reaching 60 years old. The working population should therefore start to decrease.  Yet the effect of the turnaround should remain modest up to 2015."  (SUMMARY IN ENG AND GER AND SPA)
