Question 18203 — professions and social activities

Summary

Mr. Xavier Breton draws the attention of the Minister of Labor to the questioning of the unemployment compensation rules for childminders whose activity is reduced. To date, childminders who look after several children, when they lose a job, can benefit from a return to work assistance allowance (ARE) ranging from 57% to 75% of the lost income, which is added to the income from other jobs retained. In the framework document sent to the social partners for the negotiation on unemployment insurance, the Government considers that the rules for retained activity can lead, in certain cases, to the people concerned benefiting, by combining earned income and unemployment benefit, from an overall income very close to that which they would have earned from a full-time activity. According to UNEDIC, two thirds of childminders combine salary and allowance, for a monthly income close to 1,400 euros gross. This accumulation is part of the very nature of their activity, because they can be impacted by the loss of a contract when their children start school or by the parents moving. This reform risks discouraging a number of childminders who will no longer want to continue carrying out their activity which nevertheless corresponds, in many regions, particularly in rural areas, to a social need. In 2016, more than a million parents used the services of childminders. Also, he would like to know the Government's intentions to secure the situation of childminders.
