Young People
The party emphasises youth work and in universities has a youth network named Active Left Students (Étudiants de Gauche Actifs - Actief Linkse Studenten, EGA-ALS). EGA-ALS takes up issues concerning education, but also campaigns on wider social issues such as sexism and racism, including forming organised opposition to the far-right Nationalist Student Association. In 2010, along with trade union and leftwing youth groups Comac, Écolo j, Jeunes-FGTB and JOC, the PSL launched Jeunes en Lutte pour l'Emploi to campaign on the issue of youth unemployment, taking as its inspiration the Youth Fight for Jobs campaign in Great Britain.

Famous quotes related to young people:
“What’s more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can’t hear what they say?”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
“Pleasure is the rock which most young people split upon; they launch out with crowded sails in quest of it, but without a compass to direct their course, or reason sufficient to steer the vessel; for want of which, pain and shame, instead of pleasure, are the returns of their voyage.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“All of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation.... You have no respect for anything. You drink yourselves to death.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
