Question 17399 — professions and social activities

Summary

Mr. Hervé Saulignac questions the Minister of Labor on the consequences of the reform of the return to work allowance (ARE) for childminders. 330,000 childminders in France fear the reform of unemployment insurance, negotiations for which are currently underway between the Government and social partners. A framing letter from the executive, dated September 25, 2018, intends, in fact, to impose on Unedic 3.9 billion euros in savings in three years and to revise downwards the calculation of benefits when there is accumulation of professional activity with unemployment benefits. Faced on the one hand with frequent changes or terminations of contracts (children's entry into school, moving, loss of parents' jobs) and on the other hand with different employers, unemployment compensation has so far compensated for the loss of one or more contracts that childminders are obliged to accumulate in order to obtain a decent salary. This system makes it possible to secure their situation and partially compensate for the loss of income linked to the loss of activity. If these accumulation rules were removed, the consequences would be catastrophic for all professionals whose status is particularly precarious (low hourly rate, hourly amplitude that could reach 13 hours per day, reception of children with disabilities who can hardly be accommodated in collective reception, etc.). They would, moreover, go against the professionalization of this profession, without taking into account its specificities or its constraints. Also, he asks him to clarify the Government's intentions regarding the possible reform of the terms of unemployment compensation for childminders.
