"With the RSA, you get money and then nothing"

Some details remain to be arbitrated but the spirit is recorded: 500 euros per month, granted to those under 25 who have neither training nor employment.

Fundamental difference with the current RSA: this assistance will imperatively be conditional on an intensive accompaniment to find a job. 

"With the RSA, we touch money and then nothing", deplores in fact - in private - Elisabeth Borne, Minister of Labor, in the maneuver on this project.

According to figures from its services, one in two young people at the RSA for six months was not supported towards employment in 2019.  

This new universal "youth guarantee", the final name of which has not been confirmed, is actually inspired by a device set up under François Hollande and from which 200,000 people benefited last year.

It is considered that its generalization could support nearly a million under 25 years.

"This is THE gesture expected on youth," applauds a specialist in the precariousness of young people.

"We avoid the negative signal of the assistantship." 

A political message "for parents"

The question, already addressed during two meetings in Matignon, has not yet been decided at the Elysee Palace, but Emmanuel Macron plans to carry this announcement himself before the summer. Youth is his stated priority for the end of the five-year term, and even for the rest. An electoral credo? A relative of the President sweeps this hypothesis and theorizes: "Most young people do not vote or vote RN ... Electorally, it is rather a message for their parents."
