It was on September 13 that the first special edition of “QR the debate” of the season was already held. During this program, the various representatives of the political parties invited on the set (MR, PS, PTB, Les Engagés, Ecolo), debated on different themes such as employment.
According to the Walloon Institute of Evaluation, Foresight and Statistics (IWEPS), it existed in 2022 40,262 vacant jobs in the south of Belgium. Today, 158 professions are still in shortage. So for these jobs to find takers, some believe it would be useful to tighten unemployment regulations to force them. But for Walloon parliamentarian Jean-Luc Crucke (Les Engagés), things don’t work like that. “When we globalizes job seekers by considering that a djob seeker matches another, there is every chance of making a mistake“, he says. And for good reason, “If someone has been a job seeker for a long time, the first thing to do is to ask why they are. First of all, we can ask ourselves if it is not the responsibility of those who are responsible for training them? A person who has been a job seeker for at least six months no longer has the reflexes. We need to give this a lot more flexibility. I’m coming in this sense to table a question in Parliament and the Walloon Minister of Employment Christie Morreale (PS) by asking if we could not, for people who are seeking long-term employment, ask to go back through adapted work establishments rather than excluding them so that they fall on the CPAS and it is another fund which pay.“
