Question 15448 — elderly people

Summary

Ms. Nathalie Colin-Oesterlé draws the attention of the Minister of Labor and Solidarity to the consequences of Decree No. 2026-261 of April 8, 2026, raising from 70 to 80 years the age threshold giving right to exemption from employer contributions for the employment of an employee at home. While the desire to refocus this system on the most dependent populations can be understood, this measure nevertheless raises serious concerns about its concrete impact. on seniors aged 70 to 79. Around 350,000 individual employers are affected by this change. For these households, the cost of home employment will increase by 15% (i.e. an hourly remaining cost increasing from 10.62 euros to 12.21 euros). This significant increase risks leading many people to reduce their use of home help, to the detriment of staying at home and, therefore, increasing requests premature entry into specialized establishments, a significantly more costly solution for the community. The Federation of Personal Services Companies (FESP) has also warned of this risk of waiver. The system certainly provides for exemptions for the benefit of people with disabilities, dependency or those with low resources. However, these exceptions do not cover all situations of fragility reality of 70-79 year olds, in particular those linked to social isolation or chronic pathologies not constituting a formally recognized dependence. She therefore asks him what assessments and consultations have been carried out in order to establish the impact of this reform and whether he intends to put in place corrective measures to protect those under 80 and encourage them to remain at home.
