Manuel Valls multiplies pronouncements in favor of youth. Last week, he defended the need to tax the CSD more to promote hiring on permanent contracts. An announcement came at the end of a meeting with the students representatives and students, who demand the withdrawal of the El Khomri law.
On Monday, the prime minister received at the hands of the member Christophe Sirugue also rapporteur of the Labour Act, its report on the social minimum. In a statement, he said want to launch the construction of the simplification of the various devices. And expressed mainly supported the establishment of a minimum income available to under 25s. Right, we moved to such a will, denouncing a measure would amount to promote the assistantship.
Nearly one in five young people under the poverty line
Monday, Christophe Sirugue proposed three reform scenarios, more or less ambitious. The first is a simple correction and simplification of existing measures to increase efficiency. The second is to halve the number of such aid, to keep only five, with poles (solidarity, old age, disability and handicap, end of rights to unemployment and asylum seekers).

But it ‘ is the last option that is widely discussed on Tuesday within the political class. this would completely disrupt the current functioning of the social minimum, retaining only “common base coverage,” an aid of 400 euros up be embellished, as appropriate, for further insertion (up to 407.65 euro per month) or support (up to 100 euros per month). It would be accessible to all adults.
When asked by Libération , MP justifies this proposal. “Everybody would thus have a common-base coverage and assistance to get by. the issue of welfare benefits can not be treated without addressing the issue of inserting unfortunately up in recent years to evil. “The MP believes that such a reform would reduce the 15-29 age poverty rate of 18 6% to less than 15%.
A minimum wage without working?
But the idea does not have unanimous support, far from it. All the right was bound to denounce a measure of assistantship, which does not encourage young people to find employment. Agnes Verdier Molinier, director of the very liberal think tank iFRAP example explained in the Le Figaro with this reform, a young “could quickly reach the equivalent of a minimum wage without working”, the minimum coverage not including housing benefits or student scholarships.
Christophe Sirugue, he prefers to answer the inability of the labor market to get much of youth insecurity. “It agreed to the right address does not match reality, especially among younger including obtaining a diploma, when there is a situation of family breakdown, is not a guarantee against insecurity, “he explains to Libération .
In a study published in 2012, economists Olivier Bargain and Augustin Vicard published a study on behalf of INSEE around the discouragement supposed beneficiaries of social minima to seek employment. Their results challenged that assertion, at least for people under 25 years. “No break in the employment rate to 25 years is recognizable for young singles without children having at least one primary or technical education. The RMI and RSA would not therefore have an effect” deterrent “marked on use of these young people. ”
“This obviously does not prejudge the impact of the proposed extension of the minimum income to younger age groups,” they tinged. Left as it is feared that the extension of the social minimum age of 25 is a bad response to the political inability to reduce youth unemployment. This is the case of Martine Aubry, who on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Lille Courthouse on Monday said it “is better to give a job to young people rather than give them assistance allowance” .
The question of financing
In addition to these purely ideological considerations, many people are questioning the cost of the device. When Christophe Sirugue talking about 3.5 billion euros, the Treasury had assessed his side the generalization of RSA 6.6 billion. RSA is distinguished today by a particularly low utilization rates. In other words, many potential beneficiaries never request. The draft Christophe Sirugue aims to automate the payment of aid to beneficiaries, without the latter having to provide any supporting documentation.
Today, there are departments who assume the payment of the allowance. In theory, the State undertakes to compensate all costs. But in reality we are witnessing a gradual withdrawal. In 2014 9.7 billion euros of RSA were paid by the community, while only 6.4 billion were offset by the state. Suffice to say that the Association of France do not necessarily see a very good eye projects from the executive. In a press release, its president Dominique Bussereau promises to be extremely vigilant, “the possible reform of welfare benefits must not lead to a new heavier burden on departments, so the taxpayers.”
To meet the departmental growls, Manuel Valls recently committed to renationalise the management of RSA. A complex transfer, which could still eventually help facilitate the extension of welfare benefits to young people. Provided, nevertheless, to find funding.
