Unemployment insurance: “We have already just reformed it”

“On the desire to reduce the duration of unemployment compensation, we have already reformed it a short time ago”recalls Yaël Braun-Pivet, in reaction to the announcement made by Gabriel Attal on March 27 of having a new reform “global” unemployment insurance with, among the options, that of reducing the duration of compensation for the unemployed by several months.

“We have already reduced the duration of compensation”underlines the President of the National Assembly for whom it is therefore not necessary to tighten this rule. “I think we should not touch such important parameters so quickly, without having evaluated the previous reform,” she believes.
