Work, justice, education… Where are the "priority projects" by Emmanuel Macron, one year after the pension reform?
Objective: to relaunch its second five-year term by turning the page on pension reform. On April 17, 2023, after the validation of most of the text by the Constitutional Council, Emmanuel Macron gave a speech to remind the French of his roadmap.
Work, justice, health, education… The President of the Republic then insisted on several “priority projects”. One year after this speech, franceinfo takes stock of the progress of the main works announced.
On the employment front, Emmanuel Macron heard “redouble our efforts to bring as many RSA beneficiaries back to work as possible”. The law “for full employment” of December 18, 2023 made the payment of active solidarity income conditional on fifteen or even twenty hours of integration activity per week.
The text also provides that beneficiaries are automatically registered with France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi). Until then, only 41% of RSA beneficiaries were registered with Pôle Emploi, according to a note published in 2022 (PDF document) by the Directorate of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics (Drees). Reinforced support is offered to all beneficiaries, and some of them benefit from joint monitoring by a France Travail advisor and a social worker from the department.
For the moment, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of this conditioned RSA, the experimentation of which went from 18 to 47 departments at the beginning of March. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal maintained on this occasion that one in two beneficiaries returned to employment after five months, but this statement should be taken with caution. According to our information, the head of government is in fact based on a very fragmented sample of around 5,000 people, out of nearly 21,300 beneficiaries of the conditional RSA. However, France had 2.1 million people on RSA in total, at the end of 2022, according to the Drees.
