Nearly a third of France’s GDP goes on its welfare system, making it the country with the highest social expenditure in the world, new figures revealed this week.

France spends some 32 percent of its GDP on its welfare state, well ahead of the global average of 22 percent, according to a new report from the Paris-based economic think-tank the OECD.

Finland, Belgium, and Denmark are the only other countries whose spending tops 30 percent of the GDP. In the UK it stood at 22 percent and in the US 19 percent.

One of the authors of the report Maxime Ladaique told The Local that French levels of spending on pensions, health care and the like are no longer sustainable.
