The saying goes that "the French work to live and the Germans live to work." Alsace has been part of France and of Germany at different times in history. Here one sees the two systems in close proximity, the French more attuned to state control than the German model, with more regulations. Changes were made in Germany with labor reforms during an earlier period of high unemployment, while things have not changed as much in France. The German apprenticeship system works well there but a university degree is favored by French families. The efforts to make the French system work with high unemployment and the active debate in France for improvements.

Grim challenges for EU after rollercoaster year - BBC News
BBC News 12/19/2016
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
