Reactions and perspectives

While the move is widely welcomed by organizations helping people in trouble, some experts believe the effort is not enough to stem the growing uncertainty in France. They call in particular for a global reform of social assistance systems and better consideration of the specific needs of each beneficiary.

Further, it should be noted that this increase in RSA will concern only the current beneficiaries and will not have a retrospective effect on those who received RSA in the past. Finally, it remains to be determined whether this measure will be sustained beyond the year 2024 and to what extent it will contribute to reducing poverty and uncertainty in France.
