Institut Montaigne’s monthly newsletter

In the summertime when...the world faces a crisis of multilateralism, the Sahel deals with corruption and armed militias, European leaders are scrambling to make the recovery green, and when mental health needs more attention than ever, we will still be bringing you the analysis you need. While we are wrapping up this season of newsletters, we leave you with plenty of food for thought for the summer. You will still be able to read new analyses on our blog every week, until we meet again in September. Global affairs are sure to give us much to reflect on until then.

Covid-19 has revealed that France has a long way to go in giving psychiatry and mental healthcare the attention and funding they deserve. Therefore, some experts have taken matters into their own hands. Psychiatrist Marion Leboyer, director of Fondation FondaMental, explains why and how.

The Covid-19 crisis saw 10 times more jobs supported through job retention schemes in the OECD than the 2009 crisis. From partial unemployment to ad hoc wage subsidies, the tools have been many and with varied effects. Three OECD labor experts break it all down for us.
