The reform of unemployment insurance includes four new measures for the long term unemployed: the reintegration contract, the alternance reintegration course, the exemption of 50% of social security contributions for one year for companies that will hire the unemployed who have benefited from one of these measures, and finally the elimination of the waiting period between the end of Unedic benefits and the assumption by the solidarity scheme.
In order to return to balance, the Unemployment Insurance has just adopted a reform project that should allow a saving of nearly 2.5 billion euros over three years. This Unemployment Insurance Agreement provides, among other things, for a new system of compensation for precarious workers, better coverage of the unemployed and higher contributions. Interview with Michel COQUILLON, of the CFTC, who defends this reform.

The law on the reform of unemployment benefits passed by Parliament opted for simplification: the Assedic funds will now be the only paying agencies, and the number of benefits will be reduced to four. These will be: the basic allowance, the special degressive allowance, the guarantee of resources for the unemployed over 60 years, and a flat-rate allowance paid (under conditions) to young people seeking a first job. To this is added a novelty: the compensation will be extended (under conditions, always) to women heads of families, as well as to certain categories of prisoners and defendants.
