La France et ses outre-mer : des territoires complexes | Le dessous des cartes - ARTE

The overseas territories, from Réunion to the Antilles, including French Guiana and Mayotte, represent a major geopolitical asset for France. But economic, social, and demographic fragilities exacerbate local tensions and inequalities with mainland France. A look back at these diverse and complex territories with multiple challenges. Home to more than 2.8 million inhabitants, these territories are rich in natural resources and constitute a major asset for French influence in the world. The overseas departments and communities face multiple challenges: high unemployment, economic dependence on mainland France, and inflation. While French Guiana is experiencing a population explosion linked to immigration, Martinique and Guadeloupe are experiencing an accelerated aging of their populations. These diverse and complex territories are worth exploring with our maps.
