Abstract
In this article the importance of students as staff in a selection of multi‐national stores in France and Ireland is compared. The employment of students was significantly lower in the French than Irish stores, and it is argued, using the work of Rubery and Gadrey et al., that this is related to cross‐national differences in the organisation of retailing in each country; in particular the skills sought of staff, their wage costs, and the organisation of working hours. The combination of these factors results in students being sought‐after employees in the Irish retail system, while in the French retail system students are rarely viewed as an effective labour source.
