In France, over 100,000 workers under 25 have been injured at work since 2020.

Omissions

• The specific breakdown of workplace accidents by the under-25 age group was not found in available sources. The verification relies on total accident figures from DARES and Assurance Maladie, which make the claim mathematically certain but do not directly confirm the age-specific figure.
• The MEP's original statement also claimed that 423 workers under 25 have died in workplace accidents since 2020. This fatality figure could not be verified as age-specific mortality data for under-25 workers was not found in the search results.
• The DARES figure (668,510 in 2023) covers all occupational regimes, while the Assurance Maladie figure (~555,803 in 2023) covers only the general scheme. The MEP did not specify which scope was being referenced.
