75 years on: Spotlight on France's social security system

Description

In this week's show, we're taking a closer look at France's version of the welfare state: social security. One of the pillars of the French state, "la sécurité sociale" is essentially a massive safety net, to catch anyone who falls ill, loses their job or decides to retire. To get an insight into how the system works, we explore its 75-year history, while trying to understand the challenges it faces today.
