The trend reversed itself in the 1980s with an increase in unemployment among young people; That would be mostly the Algerians. From the same article: "Although poverty seems to have decreased overall, a form of extreme misery has reappeared in the 2000s. The media have attracted attention to bidonvilles (shanty towns), which were thought to have disappeared in the 1970s, with the transformation of Nanterre's bidonville into a modern city (at the end of the 1960s, there were 89 shanty towns on the outskirts of Paris, and 43% of French Algerians lived in bidonvilles in 1963, a year after the Evian Accords put an end to the Algerian War[9]). Such urban communities, without roads or public services (no electricity, one access point to water), are a reality for example in Villeurbanne (Lyon), where a bidonville contains 500 persons with Roma origins, a third of them being children.[10][11][12] In February 2007, bulldozers destroyed a bidonville in Bobigny, near Paris, where 266 Romanian and Bulgarian citizens had been registered.[13][14][15][16]
