Question 14161 — pensions: general

Summary

Ms. Soumya Bourouaha draws the attention of the Minister of Labor and Solidarity to the exclusion of former workers from TUC contracts, implemented between 1984 and 1990, from the “long careers” system. Created in 1984 to combat the rise in mass unemployment which - still today - particularly affects young people, collective utility work (TUC) has enabled an entire generation of young workers to acquire professional experience working in local authorities and associations. These workers were young, often low-skilled and having started working very early; the system was in fact aimed at young people between 16 and 21 years old. Collectives formed by these thousands of former workers have been fighting for several years so that the quarters worked under these contracts are truly recognized in the calculation of their retirement pension. Indeed, today, the quarters worked within the framework of these contracts are not fully taken into account, considered only as “assimilated quarters” and not as “quarters deemed to have been contributed”. This differentiated regulation prevents these workers from benefiting from the “long careers” system, created in 2003 and supposed to allow early departures. in retirement for those who started working early. During the debates on the 2023 pension reform, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne promised that quarters completed in the TUC would be taken into account as contributors. The MP deplores that beyond the announcement effects, there has been no real progress on this subject. Especially since the current law in no way prohibits these periods from being considered as “ deemed to have been paid contributions”. This qualification is above all the result of a regulatory choice resulting from the decrees implementing the pension reform. It would therefore be entirely possible to make a regulatory adjustment to the system, as has already been done before in order to correct certain unfair situations created by the reform, by allocating contribution semesters in certain family situations. Under these conditions, she asks him if he plans to modify the regulatory provisions in force, so that the quarters carried out within the framework of collective utility work contracts can be deemed to be contributed, or if he intends to support a legislative development in this direction.
