More seriously yesterday the course of the accounts gave a report, unemployment "would cost" 50 billion to France: http://www.boursier.com/actualites/econ ... 18294.html
The Court of Auditors tackles the labor market ... The Sages looked into unemployment compensation, integration and reintegration assistance and job training for the unemployed. "All of these policies represent more than 50 billion euros of expenditure per year", they write in a report published on Tuesday, while the labor market reform will be presented in the Council of Ministers in March, after the agreement got in pain by the employers and three unions.
18,5 billion euros in 2013
The report particularly highlights the unemployment benefit scheme, whose sustainability has been undermined by the crisis: "from 9 billion euros in 2010, its debt could rise to 18,5 billion in 2013", write the Wise Men. . They scratch in passing "the persistent drift of the compensation scheme for intermittent entertainment workers, whose annual deficit amounts to 1 billion euros for the benefit of only 3% of job seekers". The Court also warns against the possible excesses of compensation for "reduced activity": "it will be necessary to prevent the risk of this compensation becoming an income supplement intended for durably precarious employees" ...
Also singled out: employment policy instruments "sometimes obsolete", in particular "long-term partial activity" (APLD), to compensate partial unemployment, but also subsidized contracts, "particularly those in the non-working sector. merchant ", which" have not made it possible to obtain satisfactory results in terms of lasting integration into employment ".

Based on these observations, the Court of Auditors drew up a list of 26 proposals. It recommends in particular to "make more costly the contributions of the employers who have the most recourse to short contracts (CDD and temporary)", "to increase the incentives to return to work and to strengthen the consistency of the benefits paid to job seekers. employment". To simplify the current system, the Wise Men advise the merger of the two partial unemployment schemes, and the limitation of subsidized contracts, especially in the non-profit sector, to priority groups. They also advise the targeting of the vocational training offer by Pôle emploi towards priority groups, or the elimination of "ineffective" flat-rate aid paid by Pôle emploi "to orient professionalization contracts on the less qualified" ...
50 billions per year for 10% of the active population (so less than 5% of the total population) is about 20 000 € / year per unemployed person, that's how many months of basic income for everyone : about 25 months to 800 € / month ...
