A new device to financially support 16-25 year olds who have neither training nor employment, with an aid of 500 euros: this is what Prime Minister Jean Castex presented this Tuesday, November 2 at the time of a trip to Vitry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne).
The economic recovery is here, but youth unemployment is much higher than among our European neighbors, notes the head of government. Exit the Youth Guarantee, an existing system whose effectiveness is disputed, here is the Youth Engagement Contract. 500 euros per month paid for a maximum of one year in exchange for 15 to 20 hours of training per week.
The objective is to support young people aged 16 to 25 towards a return to employment through a work-study contract or civic service, but without falling into assistantship. No question of talking about a young RSA, but a “give and take” device, comments an advisor. According to the Prime Minister, 400,000 to 500,000 young people will be affected, less than initially announced, but the operation will still cost 550 million euros in the 2021 budget
The young people met by the Prime Minister reacted rather positively to the announcements. They were able to discuss, before, an hour with him. A time for discussion to introduce themselves and explain their journey. Eptiel, 19, reoriented herself after a BTS in Medical Imaging. “We were able to talk to him about what we wanted to do, he motivated us,” she explains. We will have to provide a lot more work so as not to earn money by doing nothing. At the end of 12 months, it will necessarily have found something“.
To support young people towards employment, local missions will be called upon, but not only. This new device will also be distributed by the Pôle Emploi agencies and certain associations.
