My questions tie in exactly with your concerns, and they deal with job losses in the manufacturing sector. I see that sector as being very central to the economy, a little like the engine of a car, with the service sector built around it.
Do you not share my concern, which is that if there are job losses in the manufacturing sector, which is collapsing because of a major crisis, the service sector will be in worse shape as well?
Of course, when we talk about services, we need to think not just about the manufacturing sector and the textile sector, but also about the pharmaceutical and aerospace sectors, where there is research and development and other important things that need to be considered.
Will there not be repercussions in the medium and long term?
On page 6, you showed the breakdown of jobs in the service sector, with retail, health care and social services coming at the top.
Do you think that this distribution has more to do with the aging population, and that the situation is more sporadic, which surprises me a bit, or is it that baby-boomers who have made a good income are now getting into the service sector? However, with the collapse of the manufacturing sector, the service sector will lose ground.
