Apec

Apec, or Association pour l'emploi des cadres, is a French organization dedicated to employment issues concerning professionals and executives, often referred to as 'cadres' in France. Recent news highlights Apec's role in tracking and forecasting employment trends for this demographic. They are newsworthy due to their recent publication of employment statistics and forecasts, specifically noting a decline in hiring in 2024 and 2025, followed by an anticipated, albeit fragile, recovery in the current year. Additionally, Apec's research on the mobility preferences of executives, particularly their reluctance to relocate from certain regions even for career advancement, contributes to the ongoing discussion about work-life balance and regional economic development. While the third article mentions digital security in Hong Kong, it is unrelated to the French Apec.
