The Government will, tomorrow, complete the series of meetings with the social partners in prior to the Conference on the employment and incomes, Thursday. It will be held under the auspices of the Prime Minister, at the Centre for strategic analysis chaired by Sophie Boissard. Employers and trade union organisations invited do little illusion about the measures that may be announced, so the Government is limited by the political calendar. The day announcement of even more rambling that they come each with their own claims of the relaunch of negotiations on minimum branch, advocated by FO, expense relief requested by the Medef.
But one thing is certain: discussions turn more on the purchasing power of that employment. In full debate on the reliability of the price index, accused do not reflect actual inflation, the Government will seek to popularize indicators more focused than the consumer price index published monthly by the Insee. These indicators already exist, they can measure the rise in prices by category of population, according to age, the area of housing, family status, etc. One of the main criticisms of the CPI is that it is composed to 6 of the expenses of rent. The cost of housing seems well as one of the main areas of concern of the French. Trade unions, particularly the CFDT, intend to request a targeting of the aid of the State on persons who have the most need, including young people, poor workers and lone-parent families.
The unexpected effect of the aid
In a note published today, the Centre for strategic analysis confirms the situation "concern" of these populations for housing, whether tenants or owners. Despite the aid, that are working, and by far the highest share of their budget to this position. The poorest 10, for example, spends 18 of their income, included aid for the payment of their housing. The rate of effort is equivalent to single-parent families, the Parisians and youth. Is the average national (12) and even more the level of effort by the inhabitants of rural areas (8), more than 65 years (6) and the richest 10 (8). The gaps are even reinforced since 1998. To become owners of their homes, the richest 10 have made the same effort in 2002 than in 1998 (14), while the poorest 10 have seen their effort raised from 25 to 33 rate. The first benefited from growth of incomes higher than the latter. Not surprisingly, the situation is almost identical to the tenants, who have suffered higher rents from 7.3 in 2005, according to Insee.
These figures prove that the housing assistance are insufficient to reduce the inequalities of the French at the cost of housing. These are granted to a large population, but they appear to be insufficient to offset the increase in rents. For example, three-quarters of single parent families already have housing benefits, 36 per cent of their rent. The rise of the aid could have, in addition, an unexpected effect, since "could encourage the increase of rent", believe Bertille Delaveau and Gabrielle Fack, the authors of the note.
