Question 15235 — Agricultural social mutuality

Summary

Mr. Roger Chudeau questions the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities on the means allocated to the Mutualité sociale agricole to deal with the increasing aging of the population in rural areas. The Mutualité sociale agricole, which protects more than 5 million nationals in the agricultural world, ensures, well beyond its traditional missions, an essential role of proximity in many rural areas, where it sometimes constitutes the last public service of reference in terms of social support. However, demographic aging is accelerating sharply. In France, more than one in five inhabitants is now over 65, while the number of people losing their autonomy continues to increase. More than 1.3 million French people today benefit from the personalized autonomy allowance, mainly for home support, which puts increasing pressure on local support systems. This reality is even more marked in the rural areas of Berry and Touraine, faced with a double difficulty: a more pronounced aging of their population and a progressive reduction in the local offer of public, medical and social services. In these territories, home help services, actions to prevent loss of autonomy, home visits, support for family caregivers as well as social engineering increasingly rely on local MSA funds. At the same time, officials of the MSA Berry-Touraine recently warned of the continued reduction in operating budgets allocated to their network, even though social needs are increasing sharply. As part of the future convention of objectives and management 2026-2030, he therefore asks what measures the Government intends to take to guarantee the MSA human, financial, logistical and digital resources commensurate with its missions, in order to ensure dignified, effective and local support for elderly people living in rural areas and avoid a new territorial divide in terms of autonomy.
