Less access to unemployment compensation, decrease in the monthly level of allocations that accelerate a return to employment or even a “limited” effect of bonus moodiness: UNEDED published a great evaluation of the 2019 unemployment insurance reform on Thursday, entered into force in 2021.
The joint organization, which administers the unemployment insurance scheme, has studied the four main axes of this reform strongly criticized by the unions: an increase in the necessary number of hours worked to open the rights, a modification of the calculation of the assignments, a degradation of the assignments for high income and finally a modulation of employer contributions according to the resources to short contracts (bonus-riot).
In the first part, Unédic points out that the hardening of the conditions of the Opening Law (after having worked six months in place of four months) “resulted in less access to unemployment compensation, mainly for people with short -term contracts, the youngest and small graduates.” Every year “190,000 people no longer reach the conditions and 285,000 reach them, but later,” the evaluation specifies.
A million unemployed saw their subsidy fall
The flagship measurement of the reform, the modification of the calculation of the allocation (reform of the “SJR”) “reduces the amount of allocation for almost one million people with fragmented courses, which shortens the duration between the loss of employment and the first work found”, observes the non -ether.
“However, this effect is related only to unsustainable employment (contracts of less than six months) and is carried out through concessions on the quality of employment,” adds the organization. For people in question, the average daily allocation decreases by six euros, a 17% drop compared to before the reform.
The degradation of up to 30% from the seventh month, aimed at “beneficiaries who received high salaries before their unemployment period, also accelerated access to employment for interested parties,” says UNEDIC. The measure refers to only 3% of the beneficiaries.
As for the Bono-Malus, “it seems to have resulted in a limited fall in the number of separations, but the measure has a complex architecture that makes it recently readable by employers. It also remains unincitable to companies with the highest separation rates.” Around 30,000 companies are subject to Malus Bonus in 2024.
