Half of young people in France are vulnerable to precarious mobility, according to a barometer

Half of young people aged 18 to 24 in France are affected by mobility insecurity, according to the barometer published by the Wimoov association.

The study reveals that young adults are finding it increasingly difficult to get around as they wish, a situation attributed mainly to financial constraints. The cost of transport, whether it is the purchase or maintenance of a vehicle, or the use of public transport, weighs on the travel capacities of this age group.

Precarious mobility can have concrete consequences on access to employment, training or leisure activities for the young people concerned, as the ability to move around is often a necessary condition for professional and social integration.

The Wimoov association, which supports people with mobility difficulties, highlights a phenomenon that affects a significant part of French youth and which could require appropriate responses from the public authorities.
