That can be expected of such a meeting, four months before the presidential election
This meeting, which comes at the time where the Parliament examines the Bill on social dialogue, marks the progress our country is engaged in social dialogue and consultation. Bringing together, under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister and to his initiative, social and economic ministers, and leaders Trade Union and employers, it will allow a debate open and without concession on the situation of employment and purchasing power. All of this can only facilitate the emergence of common on reforms to achieve positions and the opening of new building.
The precariousness of young people will be at the heart of the debates. Is the French situation worse than that of our European neighbours
Precariousness hits first those who leave the school system without qualification. It is therefore, above all, a problem of qualification. Among young people from 20 to 34 years, 20 have Bachelor's degree or diploma of vocational education. It is 5 points more than in Germany and 10 points more than in Sweden. This represents nearly 190,000 young each year. It is one of the major disruptions of our labour market: equal qualification, we would have the same rate of employment than the US.
The Prime Minister also promised measures to reduce the number of women forced to work part-time. Is this another facet of poverty
There are actually forms of discontinuous or part-time work a factor of insecurity. However, all forms of part-time employment are not affected. In some cases, it is instead a choice of the employee, which may enable it to reconcile professional and family life. In others, it is a way for people in difficulty, to gradually return to work. Are still poorly the real extent of the sustained part time. Finally, we must know that part-time is more prevalent among those of our European neighbours that have better performance in terms of employment rates: it thus concerns 22 of the population in the Denmark, 25 in the United Kingdom and 47 in the Netherlands, against 18 in us.
Purchasing power will be the second theme of this meeting. The unions have reason to challenge the reliability of the price index
The global purchasing power increased by 1.3 in 2005. This figure is unquestionable, but most of the French do not found. There are several reasons for this. First certain constraints expenses (housing, energy, transport), estimated between 32 and 40 of the household budget, have strongly increased in recent years, which limits the room for manoeuvre for other expenses (leisure, purchases of comfort). It is often the case of young people or single parent families. Even when their record of pay increases, these people have the feeling of a lesser affluence.
It does argue not for a review of the published flag each quarter by the Insee
The consumer price index is an essential benchmark for European comparisons and a sustainable monitoring of the French situation. It is therefore not to abandon or issue to the question. On the other hand, need to develop additional tools such as categorical indices or panels, to assess the situation of homogeneous cohort (young people, lone-parent families, Parisians, etc.) over several years. In short, you must use of photography in the film. Individuals appreciate their situation, not by their situation at a given time, but by the trajectory they anticipate for them or for their family. This dynamic standpoint, they may have a pessimistic view of the evolution of their purchasing power, as person feels from a major downgrade. The mean indices are not sufficient to account for this.
Before the question of income, therefore employment which remains the major problem
Yes, because the unrest perceived by the population in terms of income returns to endemic unemployment which affects our country for more than two decades. Since 1984, the unemployment rate has never gone below 8. We are, with the Greece or the Spain, an exception in the European Union.
