 Y
France has become more diverse since World
War II due to an increased demand for labor
after a period of rapid economic growth. Many
migrants from North Africa and sub-Saharan
Africa were recruited to work in industries like
construction and manufacturing. In the 1970s,
the French government recognized the
challenges faced by immigrant communities
and started initiatives to improve their
integration into society. This included improving
their access to education and employment,
promoting multiculturalism, and valuing
diversity in French society.
 POLICIES
In 1972, the French parliament passed the Pleven Law to combat racism,
which is still the basis for France's national institutions. The law has four
main parts:

1.The law says it's wrong and against the law 3.The law allows the state to ban
to say things that insult or provoke people groups that promote racism.
because of their race. This is called hate
speech and it's not allowed.

2. The law forbids treating people unfairly
at work or when they're trying to buy
something because of who they are.
Breaking this law is a crime.
4.The law created a new way to
fight racism by letting non-
governmental groups that work
against racism play a bigger role.
They're called "civil parties."
LANGU
AGE
French is the official language of France, but
there are many other languages spoken in the
country, including Arabic, Berber, Wolof, and
Chinese. The French government has taken
steps to promote the teaching and learning of
these languages, but they are not always
recognized or valued in French society.
RELIGI
ON
France is a secular country, and the French
government is committed to the separation of
church and state. However, religion remains an
important part of many people's lives in France.
The majority of the population is Catholic, but
there are also significant populations of Muslims,
Jews, and Protestants.
 ETHNIC
GROUPS
Most people in France are believed to be
descendants of the Celtic or Gauls, mixed with
Germanic (Franks) and Italic (Romans) ancestry.
France has become a multicultural society due to
large-scale immigration over the last century. It is
estimated that 85% of the total French population,
or about 51 million people, are white. About 10% of
the population, or six million people, are of North
African descent. Three point three percent of the
population, or two million people, are black, and
1.7% of the population, or one million people, are
of Asian origin.
Bretons
Bretons are the Celtic ethnic group, who live mainly in Brittany,
and their ancestry is traced to the speakers of the Brittonic
language who originated from Great Britain’s southwestern part
particularly Devon and Cornwall, and they immigrated to
France during the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain.

Romani people
The Romani ethnic group is thought to have come from northern
India, specifically Punjab and Rajasthan. There are no exact
figures for how many Romani people are in France, but
estimates range from 20,000 to 40,000. Around 12,000 Romani
live in informal camps in different parts of the country. French
authorities have tried to shut down these camps, and in 2009
they sent over 10,000 Romani back to Bulgaria and Romania.
 IMMIGRANTS
France has a diverse population made up of
immigrants from many different countries around the
world. The largest groups of immigrants in France
come from North Africa, including Algeria, Morocco,
and Tunisia. Other significant immigrant groups
include people from sub-Saharan Africa, Portugal,
Turkey, and former French colonies in Southeast Asia.
Many immigrants work in industries such as
construction, hospitality, and healthcare. As of 2021,
immigrants make up approximately 12% of France's
population, with an estimated 7.7 million immigrants
living in the country, an increase of 1.3% from the
previous year according to government statistics.
 CONCLUSIO
N
France has a rich cultural history dating back to the Iron Age, and
continues to attract around 100,000 immigrants each year. It is
important for the government to protect the legal rights of these
immigrants and recognize their children in society. While progress
has been made towards equal rights for all citizens, there is still
more work to be done. For example, Muslim students have been
expelled from school for wearing a scarf, which is a violation of
their religious rights and goes against the European Union
convention. Unequal enforcement of laws creates an environment
for terrorism to thrive, so it's important for police to avoid
discrimination and unrest to prevent riots.
