This is one of Emmanuel Macron's announcements this Monday evening.
A “commitment income” for unemployed or untrained young people, particularly affected by the health crisis, will be put in place.
"To amplify this dynamic (of learning), I will present at the start of the school year the engagement income for young people, which will concern young people without employment or training and will be based on a logic of duties and rights", declared the President of the Republic in a televised address.
To help unemployed young people, whose precariousness has worsened with the Covid-19 crisis, the government opened the work of the “Universal Youth Guarantee” at the start of the year.
This "commitment income" is part of the continuity of this project and should make it possible to generalize the remuneration of the pathways to employment of young people aged 16 to 25 who are the most in difficulty, a solution preferred by the executive to the extension of the RSA to those under 25.
"New French pact between the generations"
Created under the Holland five-year term, the Youth Guarantee is an integration mechanism which currently provides young people aged 16 to 25 who are "neither in employment, neither in studies nor in training" (called + NEET +) a monthly allowance (d 'a maximum amount of 497 euros).
In return, the beneficiaries undertake to follow an intensive and collective integration course in local missions.
At the end of November 2020, in the “one young person, one solution” plan, the government had already announced the doubling of its number of beneficiaries in 2021, to 200,000, by relaxing the eligibility criteria.
"Support for our youth, better care for the elderly, it is a new French pact between the generations that we must build for our nation," continued Mr. Macron.
"As for our seniors and our fellow citizens who are too often confronted with unresolved loneliness, we owe them a great humanist ambition for autonomy, reinforced support for home support, modernized retirement homes", he added. added the Head of State, outlining a reform of the management of the loss of autonomy.
Promised in mid-2018 and postponed several times, the bill which aims to reform assistance to the elderly, in institutions and at home, is eagerly awaited by professionals hard hit by the Covid crisis.
