Question 8739 — associations and foundations

Summary

Ms. Alexandra Martin (Alpes-Maritimes) draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the growing difficulties encountered by many associations due to the reduction, or even the cessation, of skills employment pathway contracts (PEC). These associative structures, animal shelters, home help services, associations fighting against isolation or precariousness, ensure each day, often in the shadows, essential missions of solidarity, social bond and protection. They rely largely on the commitment of volunteers, but also on the support of public authorities to recruit integration staff, in particular via PEC contracts. However, according to the figures communicated in the circular from the Employment Inclusion Fund, only 32,000 PEC contracts will be financed in 2025, compared to 50,000 initially. provided for in the finance law. This represents a drop of more than 36%. In the first quarter of 2025, only 10,600 people entered the PEC, a drop of 43% compared to the same period in 2024. The overall stock of beneficiaries is down 24% (36,400 people at the end of April 2025 compared to 47,700 the previous year). This brutal contraction of the system has immediate effects: in the animal protection sector, shelters are closing their doors due to lack of salaried staff, while the State is struggling to provide care for animals resulting from legal or administrative procedures. In the field of home help, the scarcity of subsidized contracts weakens the support of elderly, isolated or disabled people, for whom human presence is often vital. PEC contracts constitute a valuable return to work tool for people far from the labor market. They allow progressive support, an increase in skills, and lasting professional integration into professions useful to society. She therefore wishes to know whether the Government intends to increase its decisions concerning subsidized contracts and in particular PECs, in order to ensure the sustainability of associative structures and maintain access to public service missions. proximity.
