Extension of current rules and negotiation context
Unemployment compensation rules in France have been extended until December 31, 2024offering respite to social partners engaged in crucial negotiations. This extension, announced by a decree published on October 30, comes as Michel Barnier's government exerts pressure to make additional savings on unemployment insurance.
In a tense budgetary context, the Minister of Labor, Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet, set an ambitious target of 400 million euros in additional annual savings. The discussions, started on October 22, aim to establish a new agreement by November 15in a climate where previous attempts at reform had failed, notably those of the former government which had envisaged a tightening of the conditions of access to unemployment insurance.
Budgetary objectives and compensation conditions
Current rules stipulate that beneficiaries under the age of 53 must have worked at least six months over the last two years to open a right to unemployment, while those aged 53 and over have up to 27 months of compensation. These conditions remain in effect until the end of the year.
Prime Minister Barnier wishes to restore a central role to the social partners in the renegotiation of unemployment compensation rules, thus abandoning the stricter proposals of his predecessor. This change of direction aims to establish a constructive dialogue to achieve a balanced agreement by November 15, reconciling budgetary imperatives and the needs of job seekers.
The government hopes to establish a lasting agreement that guarantees the viability of the system while meeting current economic requirements. This approach represents a new stage in the management of social policies in France, as the social partners strive to find consensus around rules adapted to future challenges.
