Question 8436 — professions and social activities

Summary

Mr. Romain Eskenazi draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the worrying situation of professionals in the social and medico-social sector, in particular specialized educators, faced with high turnover and penalized by salary recognition well below the commitment required by their profession. These professions are now at a tipping point. However, they constitute a dual strategic response to two major challenges for society: sustainably curbing juvenile delinquency and offering a real horizon of emancipation to vulnerable populations. The work of specialized educators, prevention and integration professionals makes it possible on a daily basis to defuse conflicts at the root, to prevent school and family breakdowns and to support young people in career paths. reconstruction. These are professions of connection, listening and demands. They also work with people with disabilities, whether children, adolescents or adults, to support them in their life projects, promote their autonomy and inclusion. Where the repressive response fails to address the structural causes of delinquency, their presence on the ground acts upstream - in the neighborhoods, the homes, social action centers or socio-educational establishments - with recognized effectiveness, but still too little sustained. At the same time, these professionals play a fundamental role in supporting social and economic integration. Their daily action – towards autonomy, access to training, employment, housing or citizenship – constitutes a real tool of social justice. They make it possible the emancipation of people whom the French model too often leaves on the margins and thus embody the collective incapacity to leave no one behind. However, despite this crucial usefulness for society, their salary conditions remain unworthy of such human, social and ethical commitment. A beginner specialized educator receives on average 1,477 euros net per month, an income barely above the minimum wage, far from the minimum wage. recognition that the technicality, responsibility and arduousness of its mission should call for. This drop in remuneration, which hits professionals hard even though they hold state diplomas and are often engaged in a vocational approach, generates profound disenchantment, massive discouragement and a silent exodus towards other sectors. It fuels a structural deficit in attractiveness, with consequences particularly serious: nearly 50,000 positions out of 850,000 are currently vacant in the social, medico-social and integration sectors, or around 6% of the workforce, with vacancy rates of up to 17% in reception and accommodation systems. This figure is not just a statistical indicator: it means that thousands of vulnerable people, often in situations of social emergency, are simply not more accompanied. And the situation risks getting worse, with 150,000 retirements expected within 5 years, or 200,000 potential vacant positions at the end of the decade. Finally, the lack of attractiveness of the sector is felt from the training, with sometimes 10% of students dropping out before even entering the profession. In this context, he asks her if she plans to guarantee full, stable and sustainable financing by the State of salary increases decided in collective agreements, so as not to further weaken public service delegated associations which carry out essential missions. He also wishes to know the structural measures that the Government plans to substantially increase salaries, stabilize the workforce and offer career prospects commensurate with social importance. and republican of these professions. Finally, he questions him on his desire to officially recognize these professions as strategic levers for preventing delinquency and social emancipation and to fully integrate them into policies of global security, territorial cohesion and the fight against inequalities. He would like to know what monitoring, evaluation and consultation mechanisms with field stakeholders will be put in place. place in order to adapt public policies to local realities, to objectify the impact of the revaluations undertaken and to sustainably improve the conditions for exercising these essential professions.
