The labor reform, implemented by French President Macron and the French Labor Minister, aims to make unemployment benefits fairer by increasing penalties to those who don’t try hard enough to secure employment.

The government is planning to spend a total of 15 billion Euros on job training over the next five years. This includes hiring 600 more staff dedicated to monitoring job seeking. The CFDT union spoke out against the reform that it was more about monitoring the job seekers rather than helping them out.

Penalties would include those who refuse what would be deemed a “reasonable” job offer or failing to complete a monthly job search that will introduced next year. Each infringement means a month of unemployment benefits taken away. Last year, France’s unemployment rates fell below 9% for the first time since 2009.

French President, Macron has already amended labor regulations making the hiring and firing process easier. He also plans to spend 15 billion Euros in the next five years to improve the labor sector in France. Last year saw the unemployment rate drop below 9%, which was the first time since 2009.

The labor reform this year will include hiring 600 staff to the government that will monitor the progress of job seekers. A monthly job search log will be introduced and those who fail to complete it will be deprived of unemployment benefits for a month. In addition, those who reject job offers that are deemed “reasonable” by the state will also incur penalties.

A spokesperson from the CFDT union has spoken out against the reform saying it is more about “monitoring” than actually helping the unemployed.
