Five thousand positions will be covered in establishments and services of the non-profit social, medical-social and private health sectors of Overseas, warns Nexem, the main associative employer organization in these sectors.
“There are in particular 250 to 300 vacancies in Guadeloupe, 200 in Guyana and a hundred in Martinique,” explains Alain Raoul, president of Nexem, who begins a ten-day visit to these territories on Tuesday to meet with its members.
If metropolitan France is not saved, with 50,000 vacancies, “many more people are proportionally affected in the overseas territories, where the effects of the crisis are aggravated.”
A salary lower than the average French salary
As a consequence of this shortage of staff, “establishments are reducing their reception capacity, and employees are subjected to very high workloads that expose them to a risk of burnout”, continues Alain Raoul, who considers that the issue of salaries is the “main cause” of the unattractiveness of professions in the sector.
“The average salary of employees in our sector is 25% lower than the French average salary,” he says.
Among these employees, who work in particular with disabled people, children or the elderly, “many have the feeling of not being recognized for their fair value.”
Nexem requests in particular the payment of the “Ségur bonus” of 183 euros net per month to staff in the general and administrative services sectors who have not benefited from it.
In September, the Minister for Solidarity, Inclusion and Disability, Jean-Christophe Combe, had also announced that all employees in the non-profit private sector would benefit from “the equivalent of the increase in the value of the point for public service”. , responding to a demand from professional organizations.
