About this analysis

AI scores are LLM-estimated using the same methodology as the Dutch AI Exposure Map, making scores directly comparable across countries. Employment 2024, growth 2021-2024, part-time and female share from DARES, Portraits statistiques des métiers (FAP 2021, all workers including self-employed and civil servants); salaries are the DARES net median 2023-2025 for employees, not gross. Occupations are mapped to one or more FAP 2021 families; some are broad proxies or share a family. The 2030 forecast (JPE-prognose v3) starts from Les métiers en 2030 (France Stratégie and DARES, 2019 base) and adds separate AI and robotics layers. These are modelled scenarios, not predictions. A high AI score does not automatically mean job loss. DARES data under Licence Ouverte 2.0; our dataset CC BY 4.0.
