This device should concern 500,000 to 600,000 young people aged 16 to 25 per year. Its extent has been the subject of bitter negotiations between the Ministry of Labor, which militated for the widest possible extension, and Bercy who sought to limit the cost.

Inspired by the Youth Guarantee, an intensive individual and collective accompanying course to the successful success, the project of a “contract of engagement” was announced on July 12 by Emmanuel Macron, first under the form of a “engagement income”. The change of terminology (versus “contract”) had been decided to insist on the conditioning of the payment of this assistance to the fulfillment of duties by its beneficiary. It is distinguished in this of the active solidarity income (RSA) for young people, demanded for years by many associations, whose payment would have been devoid of any counterpart.
