Résumé anglais Taxes, Social Security Contributions, Skills and Employment: A Study Using the "Julien" Computable General Equilibrium Model of the French Economy Jean-Pierre Laffargue The underlying rate of unemployment has been rising more sharply among the unskilled than the skilled since 1960. It could therefore be said that employment policy should focus primarily on unskilled jobs. This paper analyses the economic effects of a decrease in employers' social security contributions and other taxes on the different skills levels, especially as regards employment. For this purpose, we use a model of the French economy called "Julien". This is a dynamic model that adopts a framework of monopolistic competition. It considers that agents optimise their behaviour over time with rational expectations and it includes a detailed labour market model.
