3 economic misconceptions that Generation Y grew up with and urgently need to be debunked
The article debunks three economic misconceptions that have influenced Generation Y: that easing labor laws reduces unemployment, that France's public debt is due to excessive state spending, and that tax breaks for companies create jobs.

Why is Generation Y Resigning?
Generation Y, born in the 1980s, is often seen as difficult to manage and prone to job dissatisfaction. They seek meaningful work, mentorship, and impact, often leaving jobs if these needs are unmet. Raised with high expectations and instant gratification from technology and social media, they struggle with the slower pace and less stimulating tasks of traditional workplaces. The entrepreneurial dream is appealing but often unrealistic, leading to frustration. Companies need to adapt to retain this generation, emphasizing good leadership, incentives, and a modern work culture.
