Strengthening degressivity to better protect at the start of unemployment and encourage a return to work

Losing your job must not mean falling straight into insecurity. The first six months of unemployment are better protected, with salary ceilings raised to the level of an average full-time wage and a higher minimum benefit for low earners. After that, the amount gradually decreases as the unemployment period continues, so that a real incentive to return to work remains. The system therefore becomes more protective at the moment when the loss of income is felt most, while rewarding work more.

Limiting integration benefits to a maximum of one year

Integration benefits become support limited to a maximum of one year, designed as a springboard into work rather than a lasting situation. By linking access to obtaining a qualification, the system encourages young people to train, make the most of their path and enter working life more quickly. The aim is to provide a clearer framework, one that fosters responsibility and is geared towards independence.
