Réunion is one of the 18 departments volunteering to test the future organization of France Travail, which must replace Pôle Emploi in 2024. She is also, among them, the only one to have recentralized the payment of active solidarity income (RSA), in 2020. As part of an experiment put forward by Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne during her recent visit to the island, 2,200 RSA recipients from Saint-Leu and Trois-Bassins will benefit from increased support to facilitate their access to employment. The latter will be offered an employment contract for a duration of fifteen to twenty hours per week of activities which may take various forms. : remobilization workshops, training actions, immersion in business, preparation of the driving license… The objective of the State, with this device, is to “bring as many RSA beneficiaries back to work by supporting them better”, according to the words of Emmanuel Macron.
