Labour Minister, François Rebsamen, has regarded Friday as a “failure” for the government and employment center that some unemployed not looking for work, as shown by the initial results of an experiment conducted by the operator.

“C is at once an admission of failure for us, employment center, because it means that people, the unemployed drop out, “he has told the Talk-Le Figaro, recalling that the unemployed” rights and duties. “

According to a progress of the experiment record, revealed by Les Echos, nearly 20% of the 2,658 unemployed controlled Toulon and Manosque (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence ) will not actively be looking for a job, more discouragement or lack of know-how by abuse. Finally, 6.5% of controlled unemployed were written off.

“First, we must analyze why” unemployed “are not fulfilling their duties, their obligations to look for work,” responded the Minister.

“There may be illness, there may be family reasons, there may be some who are demoralized, discouraged (…) there is certainly lots of reasons and this experiment should show it, “he has said.

” I think we’ll get away with that finding employment center must do better to support, “said he said.

M. Rebsamen has further noted that “sanctions” exist for the unemployed who do not fulfill their duty to job search: “Every month there are about 50,000 people, or 45,000, are temporarily delisted for 15 days. “

In 2013, the employment center experiments in four regions (Haute-Normandie, Poitou-Charentes, Paca and Franche-Comté) of” control teams looking for employment. “

The final results of this experiment will be presented Wednesday at the board and employment center, the newspaper said, the operator is preparing to generalize the device.

According to the progress report , controls occur at “a large part” of jobseekers “some effect of revitalization.”

As for counselors, the intervention of their colleagues in charge of the control is “well understood even same preferred “. They “today expressed a very positive view on the device,” according to the document.
