Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this research is to study the reception of the idea of sharing by the French society, specifically by the young people.
Indeed the sharing economy is a new way of consumption that is in full evolution all around the world. If it’s not our traditional economy, it may be associated to a return to fundamental values, healthier and more natural even if some critics and limits have to be mentioned.
The theoretical part of the study will be done with famous classical economists as observing the history of our society. Then, the newer vision of Jeremy Rifkin will bring the notion of sharing and some theories will be verified. In a second time this study will focus on the participation of the target to take part in this before actually analysing their comportments with serious and recent French studies.
Finally, this thesis will highlight that the young French people are highly aware of the sharing economy, much more than the rest of the population. However, according to the research if some of young French people practices it by full social, ideological and environmental conviction, the most motivating reason for many remains the gain of money.
