French Lawmakers Propose Reduced Unemployment Benefits
The French government is proposing a bill to reduce the maximum duration of unemployment compensation for individuals who benefit from a mutual termination agreement. This measure aims to lower unemployment insurance expenditures following a 10% increase in contributions in early 2026. The project, resulting from an agreement between unions and employers, has passed the Senate but awaits a second reading in the National Assembly. Officials state the move is intended to address a degraded economic situation caused by rising costs.
