Although the educational system in France is unified and relatively centralized from an institutional point of view, there is, from one region to the next, a considerable variation in the number of students who leave school with little or no training or skills after having followed differing educational options. This leads the authors to question the links existing between the educational system and the job market, which is shown fairly clearly. Thus, in large, developed centers such as l'Ile-de-France and the region of Lyon, the small number of students leaving school without specific skills and the rarity of apprenticeship are in direct relation with the large number of skilled jobs. Conversely, the large number of apprenticeship positions in the regions of the West and South-West can be explained by the importance of trades and crafts in these regions. Finally, it has been possible to work out a general typology of the different regions which shows the relationship of their socio-economic characteristics with the size of the flow of unskilled young people leaving school and the way they obtain their first job.
