For the Minister of Labour, Olivier Dussopt, the application of this principle, known as “countercyclicality”, will further encourage the unemployed to return to work when employment abounds, as today, while remaining protective in times of low water. . “The reform should create between 100,000 and 150,000 additional jobs in 2023,” he said, recalling that the objective is to reduce recruitment difficulties.
