The professional situations of people in France, during the lockdown that was enforced because of the coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19) in March 2020, varied depending on their age. It appears that while more than half of people age under 24 had to stop working, 29 percent of people aged between 25 and 34 years old were able to work remotely.
