This article analyses the main evolutions of French youth policies since their birth at the end of the 19th century, and does so from a threefold perspective: the players involved, levels of decision making and contents of the agenda setting. To reach these aims, the article is divided into three parts: the first focuses on the progressive development of French youth policies from their conception to the middle of the nineties; the second on the growth of youth policies from the middle of the nineties to the present and the last focuses on the current difficulties of French youth policies.
