Stop the misunderstanding: in 2024, this device conditioning the RSA 15 to 20 hours of activity remains at the experimental stage. First in 18 departments. Then in 47 departments from March 2024. The conditional RSA, everywhere in France, with possible suspension of the allowance, it will be for 2025. In the meantime, the government has just revealed the list of 29 testing departments.
We will not give up as long as all those who can return to employment remain unemployed, declared Prime Minister Gabriel Attal this Friday March 1 while on a trip to the country with the Minister of Labor Catherine Vautrin. He defended the reform of the RSA, which should allow better guidance towards employment thanks to an experiment in numerous departments, since 2023: up to fifteen hours per week of training, internship and integration, in return of the allowance.
In the 18 departments which experienced this reform, 21,300 RSA beneficiaries integrated these support journey under test. According to Gabriel Attal, in the 5 months following their entry into a professional career, one person in two supported found a job whereas before the reform, after seven years at the RSA, only one person in 10 found a lasting job. It thus confirmed the transition from the experimentation of 18 to 47 departments, before its generalization in 2025 as part of the France Travail reform.
