Job security, by definition, is how likely one is to be dismissed from one's current job. It doesn't have anything to do future jobs.

You are changing the definition of a term in order to make my claim look faulty.

Undoubtedly unemployment in France is a problem; but it's not an issue that has to do with job security, as its normally defined.

That seems like a poor definition then, if we're looking for economic merits.

I don't disagree that an employee is more likely to get fired in a free market. However, it's also easier to get hired in a free market. Speaking from personal experience, getting a job is far more stressful than having a job, so while employee protection is good for the employed, it seems to hurt those trying to get into the workforce.

Surely you can agree that the ease of getting hired is an important factor in whatever it is we are trying to describe by with the term "job security."
