Covid-19 and labour law in France

Abstract

The French government has mobilised various instruments to deal with the consequences of the pandemic. The main one is partial unemployment, which for the time being has made it possible to limit the rise of unemployment. However, as the period of return-to-work has begun, the question arises as to the distribution of efforts between the State, employers and employees. In any case, this crisis has undoubtedly enhanced the status of the State, which is no longer seen merely as a regulator but as a planner.
