Purchasing power: more and more French people are looking for additional income

You could almost think it’s hers, but this Australian Shepherd is not Maria Belayachi’s dog. In order to supplement her pension, the young retiree is registered on a platform to offer her services and keep animals in the neighborhood. To take care of Rocky, her new resident, for five days, Marnia will receive 80 euros. And the owners are also winners financially.

This summer, during their holidays, a dozen individuals will entrust their dog to Marnia. Result: it is sold out until the end of August. His pension amounts to 1,850 euros. Like her, faced with the crisis, many French people have registered on these mutual aid sites. Among them, a student in BTS who, in his spare time, gardens at his neighbors. On the platforms, the number of requests for benefits increased, by 30% on average compared to last year.
