phenomenon not seen commonly before. This is the most interesting finding in

Least One In Five Women Haven’t Checked
For Signs Of Breast Cancer In The Last Year (Click for Details) (UK) October marks breast cancer awareness month.
Despite being the most common cancer in the UK there is a misconception among
some that it only affects women. A new YouGov survey asks both British men
and women when, if ever, was the last time they did a self-check, and if the
disease has impacted their lives.
Among women, three quarters (76%) say they have ever checked
themselves for signs of breast cancer. This includes two in five (41%) who
say they have done within the last month, and 18% say they have done so in
the last six months. Just 11% of women say they’ve never done so. (YouGov UK) October 29, 2021 4.11 Society »

public say they would be personally unwilling to stop flying for leisure,
compared to 23% who are willing to do so or already doing so. Further, 76%
believe most other people would be unwilling to make this change. This
suggests that perceived effectiveness may also be being driven by its
personal lifestyle impact and/or that the policy would be rejected by the
public, rather than just its potential impact on climate change. (YouGov UK) October 31, 2021 4.7 Society »

73%
Of Employers In France Suffer From Poorly Mastered Written And Oral
Expression By Their Teams, All The More So In A Period Of Widespread
Teleworking Among
the main lessons of the study
As
long-distance exchanges multiply and informal moments of communication become
rarer, expression and spelling skills are essential: precision, disambiguation,
conciseness are invaluable in avoiding misunderstandings.
In
the recruitment process, fluency in French is more important than fluency in
English This
statement sounds like a no-brainer. However, over the years of
globalization, a good level of English has been an undeniable advantage in
hiring. At a time when the internationalization of trade has come to a
halt, the employment passport has changed scope, and mastery of expression
and spelling has become a priority.
French language certification makes the
difference with employers Aware
of these growing challenges, companies, higher education establishments and
schools encourage their employees, students or pupils to improve the quality
of their expression. To motivate them, display their progress, certify
their level, these players resort to certification in French, a possibility still
little known to the general public. A lever for employability?
