Unemployment insurance for seniors: “It’s the responsibility of the social partners”

“It is the responsibility of the social partners”supports Roland Lescure, the delegate minister responsible for Industry, to resume negotiations on unemployment insurance for those over 55, to integrate pension reform. “It is not up to the State to do it initially”. “The fact that we have shifted the retirement age should logically shift the age of these particular measures” he specifies.

For the Minister Delegate in charge of Industry, “senior employment and youth employment are the two sources of unemployment today”. “The conditions of compensation must be reviewed” for seniors, he assures, and adds that “business leaders need to change their mindset, we need to stop telling ourselves that when a business has problems the first thing to do is to get rid of seniors and for the rest we will see On the contrary, we must keep them, train them, requalify them and perhaps redirect them towards other forms of employment.”
