Abolition of the obligation to conclude a first-employment contract

15/05/2026
In brief

The obligation to conclude a first-employment contract is being abolished, along with the administrative burdens it placed on businesses. This scheme required certain employers to hire a set number of young people, without offering any real guarantee of lasting employment. By removing a rule that had become unsuited to the current economic context, businesses gain in simplicity and flexibility. The aim is to focus efforts on more effective measures to create real opportunities for young people, rather than on a formal obligation that no longer met needs on the ground.
