French term or phrase: fracture sociale

Another of those phrases you hear all the time and hope you never have to translate (breakdown in the fabric of society...hmm, pas terrible):

Et aujourd’hui certains experts n’hésitent pas à annoncer pour une bonne partie de la sphère économique, la fin du salariat et le recours bientôt généralisé au travail précaire...

the wealth gap

Explanation:

***********Sur un autre site en anglais, c\'est traduit comme \"social breakdown\": The course focuses on evolutions in dominant style, content and theme in contemporary French cinema, and is divided into two broad areas. The first, Le cinéma du look, examines the aesthetic innovations that came to characterise new French cinema in the 1980s. The second part of the course focuses on a series of films which document and interrogate what the media and politicians in France came to identify in the 1990s as la fracture sociale, or social breakdown.
