Permanent hiring for developers and computer engineers aged 21–29 reportedly fell 42% versus 2022

A post cites a study by the Laboratoire de l’Innovation et du Futur du Travail, conducted with Banque de France, reporting a 42% drop in permanent hires for developers and computer engineers aged 21–29 compared with 2022. It compares that with an 11.2% drop in occupations less substitutable by AI. Across that age group, the post cites drops of 28.3% in the most AI-exposed occupations and 7.5% in the least exposed. It says the study does not claim AI’s effect on young people’s employment is automatic or irreversible.
