Résumé anglais The 18-25 year old stratum is changing both through negative elements (family crisis, high youth unemployment) and more positive elements, such as the progress in schooling. Young people remain at home with their families for longer and have a very positive attitude towards them. Should young people be encouraged towards greater autonomy by giving them a special social status or by better supporting their family ? The autor opts for the second solution as a more pragmatic line to take. This requires the "enactment" of the family law of 25 July 1994 which at the end of the five year plan schedules an increase to 22 years of the age limitas a family dependent. He also wonders about providing new benefits to older children, which would be a near equivalent to the chil- drens' allowance for the under 3's. He considers that our family policy should have two "peaks" : early childhood and the zone adolescent-older children, young adults.
