Abstract:
This article examines the impact of youth unemployment and the aging of the labor force on intergenerational solidarity in the Franc Zone. Through an empirical analysis based on an ARDL panel model, the results show that these two factors significantly increase the dependence of future generations. The study also reveals that education spending, while essential, is not always adapted to the needs of the labor market. The originality of this article lies in its highlighting of the link between intergenerational dynamics and the Sustainable Develop ment Goals (SDGs), in particular Goals 8 and 10. These results underline the need for an overhaul of education policies and pension schemes in order to guarantee a balanced intergenerational transition and sustainability development in the Franc Zone.
