The bill “for full employment”, tested at the beginning analyzing by means of senators since Monday, units up more personalized and directive support for recipients of the Active Solidarity Income.

The Senate voted Monday nighttime the automatic registration of RSA beneficiaries at the listing of activity seekers and the generalization of a “contract of engagement”. In this “logic of rights and responsibilities”, the bill makes it less difficult to put into effect sanctions for recipients who do not appreciate their responsibilities.
