Lhe government presented its bill “for full employment” on Wednesday. The text must give birth to France travail, successor to Pôle emploi, and set up more personalized and directive support for RSA recipients. The latter have not benefited from the fall in unemployment: their number has not decreased since 2017, around 1.9 million. The executive is counting on this transformation to achieve full employment, i.e. an unemployment rate of around 5% in 2027 ( once morest 7.1% currently) by targeting people who are far from employment.

France travail replaces Pôle emploi
Job seekers will soon no longer have to deal with Pôle emploi but with “France travail”. The public operator, which should see the light of day from 1is January 2024 and no later than 1is January 2025, and all players will have to work better in a “network” with connected systems. This “France travail network” will therefore be made up of the State, the France travail operator (ex-Pôle emploi), local missions (young people), Cap emploi (disabled people), local authorities, integration organizations and associations and CAFs. It aims to better coordinate the actors of the public employment service.

Automatic registration for France travail
All job seekers, job seekers or people experiencing integration difficulties will automatically be registered with France Travail. The idea is that a person applying for RSA at CAF finds himself at the same time registered with France travail, whereas currently only 40% of RSA recipients are registered with Pôle emploi, i.e. 840,000 people out of 2. million beneficiaries. The Minister of Labour, Olivier Dussopt, warned that the number of job seekers within the meaning of Pôle Emploi would increase “mechanically”, without this necessarily meaning an increase in unemployment.

15 to 20 hours of activity for RSA beneficiaries
Each member of France travail will sign “a contract of engagement”. It is within this framework that the beneficiaries of the RSA will have to carry out 15 to 20 hours of activity per week. Eighteen departments are experimenting with this system in 2023. Not formally enshrined in law, these hours (immersions, refreshers, CV writing) will be an objective “suitable for everyone”, specified Olivier Dussopt. It will be “neither free work nor compulsory volunteering”, he repeated, faced with the fears of associations fighting once morest poverty.

Facilitated sanctions in case of breach
In this “logic of rights and duties”, the bill makes it easier to implement sanctions for recipients who do not respect their obligations. Before the ax of a radiation – little applied -, the adviser will now be able, unless opposed by the president of the county council, to suspend the payment of the RSA in the event of breach, with a retroactive regularization when the person respects his commitments once more. This possibility of sanction will intervene as soon as “we will have settled the other preliminary problems”, however specified Elisabeth Borne in May.
