Question 15328 — professions and social activities

Summary

Mr. Francis Vercamer draws the attention of the Minister of Labor to the revision of the rules for accumulating unemployment benefit with reduced or retained activity. On September 25, 2018, the Prime Minister sent the social partners the framework document for the early negotiation of the unemployment insurance agreement, announced by law for the freedom to choose one's professional future. The rules for accumulating unemployment benefit with reduced or retained activity authorize the unemployed to receive compensation for the loss of a part-time job while remaining in another job. The said document invites the social partners to review the rules for combining the allowance with income from reduced or retained activity in order to combat precariousness and encourage the return to sustainable employment. In the case of childminders, this objective is however inadequate. Childminders often have several contracts and the reasons for termination are diverse; a child's return to school, the family's move or the simple wish of the parents. Vacant places are not always immediately reoccupied by the child of a family looking for childcare. The accumulation rules make it possible to compensate for this loss of activity, while waiting to complete their workforce. Changing them would have the effect of plunging them into great precariousness. This measure, which is being studied as part of the negotiation of the new agreement, would therefore be likely to call into question the sustainability of their profession. If many childminders were to cease their activity, it would also be damaging for families. In fact, they represent 33% of all types of childcare France, which makes it the most important mode of reception. He therefore asks what measures can be adopted to secure the status of childminders.
