Social security and job-seeker

According to a survey have just been published by INSEE, the inequalities grow hollow on the job market. The light fall of unemployment recorded for one year has not benefitted the seniors sufficiently. The firms recruit few people having exceeded around fifty: in 2007, they accounted for only 7% of the new recruits whereas they constitute 17% of the job-seekers. Also, 38% of the unemployed of more than 50 years have sought an employment for more than two years. In answer to these problems, the Government encouraged the measurements aiming at supporting the hold in activity of the seniors. Today, it is a question in parallel of more facilitating the return to employment to them. In addition to the development of the operative paragraphs of accompaniment, the exemption of looking for a job, of which could hitherto profit the unemployed from at least 57 years and half, will be gradually abolished from here by 2012. It is one of the measurements provided for by the adopted law on the rights and duties of the job-seekers on August 1st.

The bill on the control of the unemployed will be discussed in front of the Senate and the National Assembly starting from June 23rd, 2008. This project known as balanced is carried out on the basis of lump of a woman. Indeed, ANPE will have to engage with better accompanying the unemployed person but n the other hand, the aforementioned will not be able to refuse 2 vacancies known as “reasonable” under penalty of being erased during nths. Still is it necessary to know what is a reasonable offer? At the end of the bill, the aforementioned is defined according to 3 criteria: remuneration, localization and the compatibility of employment with the qualifications of the unemployed. This offer should also take account of the formation of the unemployed, his track records and its personal situation and family.  The level standard towards the unemployed person from now on will be a function of the duration of its unemployment. At the end of nths of compensation, an offer will be regarded as reasonable when employment suggested is remunerated by 95% of the old wages perceived by the unemployed. After nths of unemployment, the proposal D '' employment will have to be remunerated only by 85% of the old wages and to be at m or 2 hours in public transport per maximum day to be stated reasonable. And at the end of one year, the unemployed person will not be able any more to refuse more than 2 vacancies remunerated by height of the income of replacement i.e. of the unemployment benefit.

The private employees of employment who are registered in at the conclusion of the rupture of their work contract, must seek an employment actively, under penalty of being erased list of the job-seekers. Currently only the 55 year old older wage earners which adds up 160 quarters of old-age insurance and those 57 years old and half, can be exempted of this looking for a job. This possibility is likely to be abolished by the Current government which notes that to find a last work 55 or 57 years is particularly difficult. The Minister for the economy, Christine , specified that this measurement would play for the future and not for the employees who are related to today with this provision.
