Lively exchange between Georges-Louis Bouchez and Germain Mugemangango about the indexation of salaries on the set of “QR the debate”

“It’s neither a legend nor a novelty”, confirms Georges-Louis Bouchez. “How do we do it then? The income increase aspect with the tax-exempt portion must be able to be increased from 9,000 to 12,000 €”, he says before adding: “Another problem is that when you have a status, it’s ‘on’ or ‘off’. When you are a social recipient, you have your allowance, social housing, medicines at reduced prices if you have the BIM status, the energy check, etc. And as soon as you go to work for a few days, you will lose all or part of these advantages. There must therefore be transition phases during which people who start an activity, even if it is not only a few days a month, retain some of their basic social status.”
