[HIGHLIGHTS] Unemployment insurance: why do some economists consider a reform of little use?

Gabriel Attal confirms plans to reform unemployment insurance by the fall. The Prime Minister sees it as a significant source of savings, while the public deficit for 2023 has slipped.

But such a reform would ultimately be unprofitable according to some economists. Among social spending, unemployment insurance weighs almost ten times less than pensions. This reform is “unacceptable” for the CGT. For Marine Le Pen, it is a “scam” which aims to “pick the pockets of the French to replenish the state coffers”
