Question 14439 — professions and social activities

Summary

Mr. Joël Aviragnet draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister for Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, to the increase in fuel prices and the consequences on the work of home helpers. The President of the Republic said “I prefer fuel taxation to labor taxation”. However, home helpers working in rural areas do not have the choice of means of travel to get to from one beneficiary to another and must use, in the majority of cases, their personal vehicle. These mileage costs are reimbursed to them on the basis of a national rate which has not changed since 2008. Thus the increase in fuel costs, not compensated, increases their costs and therefore strains their purchasing power. Home help services are already experiencing recruitment difficulties due to the unattractiveness of the profession. This new loss of income induced by the increase in fuel prices accentuates these difficulties. However, home helpers are essential given the services they provide to elderly or disabled people. Also, he asks him to intervene so that the most vulnerable people do not bear the cost of fuel taxation.
