With the health crisis, the Youth Guarantee must become a “right” open to all young people precarious with the crisis, calls for a report submitted to the government. The number of beneficiaries of this allowance for promote the integration of those most remote from employment
must double in 2021 .
The Youth Guarantee offers a monthly allowance (of a maximum amount of 310 euros) and intensive support, individual and collective, on a local mission for one year to the young people of 000 at 20 years who are “neither in employment, in studies nor in training” and in a situation of financial insecurity.
New, less strict criteria
Created end 2013 and generalized in 2016, this device is considered effective: according to the Dares, end 2019 , three quarters of the beneficiaries have a level below the Bac and 20, 5% of them have accessed a job, training, a work-study contract, or the creation of ‘company. But it does concerned that 43. beneficiaries in 2016 because the entry conditions “exclude a certain number of precarious young people”, according to Antoine Dulin, president of the Council of orientation of youth policies, a commission placed with the Prime Minister who produced the report.
The report proposes in particular to review the conditions for ssources and to delete the criterion “without employment, neither studies, nor training” because this excludes, for example, employees occupying
“food jobs” on very short contracts.
A “gateway” for all
He suggests not to limit the duration to one year, too short to access housing, and not to focus support solely on employment to reach people who have other difficulties, such as unaccompanied minors.
“The Youth Guarantee must be the door tomorrow entry for all support courses for young people in precarious situations since it combines support and guarantee of resources ”, explains Antoine Dulin. “It is an allowance in the amount of the RSA but with support which has always been the weak point of the minimum social RMI / RSA”, including the 000 – 20 years do not benefit, he adds.
This will involve strengthening local missions in terms of staff and premises. “It is fundamental to continue to pay to local missions 1. 497 euros for each young person monitored because the strength of the Youth Guarantee compared to the RSA is that the support is funded ”. For him, there is “a window of fire” with the will of the government to finance in 2019 at least 200. Youth guarantees. Tuesday, Elisabeth Borne, in favor of a “Universal Youth Guarantee” rather than a youth RSA, pledged “that each young person is not prevented from entering a path to employment because he would have a compensation problem ”.
