Nearly nine in ten French people went to a cultural place – theater, cinema, concert hall – before the health crisis. They are now less than one in two according to a study carried out by Harris Interactive and which must officially unveil this Wednesday the Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot. And that confirms the feelings of professionals, who note that the rooms are more difficult to fill than before the pandemic.
Then there is the pass of course, and the mask too. But the bars are subject to the same constraints and they are always full. Have the young people decided to desert cultural places? A third of those under 35 say they will now favor digital means to access cultural content. And some professionals are worried about a basic trend: “Netflix and chill” evenings could well become more attractive than going to the movies or the theater.
Things have not been going strong for several years for medical interns, who have mobilized several times to express their anger at their working conditions. And the situation is obviously not getting better. A new report from the national inter-union interns delivers alarming figures: 4 interns out of 10 would thus present torubles depressive, and 20% would have already had suicidal thoughts.
First cause: working time. Interns work an average of 58 hours per week, far from the regulatory 48 hours provided for by European law. The intersydicale also notes the deleterious climate in which the interns work. A quarter of the respondents to this study say they have been victims of humiliation or sexual harassment, or even assault within the hospital itself. //
