Addressing Ageism in Employment: Equalizing Unemployment Insurance for Seniors

2023-11-23 08:11:15

“No reason justifies this difference” between job seekers over 55 and others, the Minister of the Economy stressed on FranceInfo this Thursday.

“Wake up” launched Emmanuel Macron to business leaders before reaching, before the end of his mandate, full employment, that is to say 5% unemployment rate compared to 7.4% today today.

To achieve this, Bruno le Maire believes that we must focus on the employment of seniors by playing on the duration of compensation enjoyed by job seekers from their 55th birthday. Today it can reach 27 months compared to 18 for the others. “What justifies a different duration of compensation?” he asked on France Info this Thursday.

“I see no reason why there should be a longer compensation period. Basically, it’s total hypocrisy, it’s a way of putting people over 55 into early retirement. We need unlike their talent,” he continues.

“We must align the duration of compensation for those over 55 with those under 55 because they are worth as much as those under 55” underlines the minister. “It’s a gigantic waste: when you have 27 months of compensation, you are told: ‘retire peacefully’.

“What I want to say to those over 55 is that we need you and if we want to move towards 5% unemployment, we must, for example, say that for those over 55, we must a similar compensation period of at least 55 years” affirms Bruno Le Maire.
