Unemployment insurance: the new reform soon to be unveiled by the Parisian State

Trade union and employer sources inform that the French government is today unveiling to the social partners its decisions on its new unemployment insurance reform, which should vary the duration of benefit according to the unemployment rate. Indeed, Olivier Dussopt will inform employers and trade unions at a meeting at the Ministry of Labour in the morning “the arbitrations accepted” after a consultation begun in October.

For the executive, unemployment insurance should be “stricter when too many jobs are unfilled, more generous when unemployment is high.” This is an idea supported by Medef and the CPME but opposed by all unions. For its part, the Government has ruled out affecting the level of compensation and has renounced varying the rules according to the local employment situation, which is too complex to implement.
