Hiring managers want to hire older people… but only if they get help with it.
A survey of 500 decision-makers by the national association of HRDs reveals that a large majority of them demand financial incentives to keep older employees employed.
56% of those over 55 with employment
The employment rate of those over 55 years of age has increased significantly: it has gone from 29% in the late 1990s to 56% this year. But France lags behind its German neighbor: there, more than 7 out of 10 senior employees are still employed.
In BFM Business, the president of ANDRH contrasts this figure with the labor shortage currently observed in France.
A “1 senior, 1 solution” plan
To solve the problem, 63% of the decision-makers consulted would like the implementation of a “1 older 1 solution” plan, in the 1 young 1 solution model, launched by the government.
In detail, the HRDs ask for economic incentives for the hiring of older people and reductions in charges. The CPME, for example, requests an exemption from unemployment contributions for those over 56 years of age.
An idea that goes wrong with the unions. To them, raising the retirement age to fund the system, while spending money to support the employment of late-career workers is foolish.
