The RSA, the sooner you get out of it, the better. And the best way to get out of it is to find paid employment. What appears to be obvious, an unprecedented study by the Drees, the Department of Studies and Statistics of Social Ministries, published this Friday, demonstrates it in detail. Its publication is all the more interesting as it comes at a time when the experimentation with the reform of support provided to beneficiaries as part of the France travail reform places priority on professional integration.
The unique nature of the study comes from the fact that it traces the journey of beneficiaries of this minimum income, recipients or spouses, aged 16 to 49, over a long period, between 2010 and 2020, underlines Julie Labarthe, deputy director of solidarity observation at Drees.
Seniority significant factor
Its main conclusions show that one in five beneficiaries (21%) continued to receive the RSA each of these ten years. Two in five (41%) made at least one return trip. The others, a little less than two in five (38%), left without returning, including a third in 2011.
In detail, it is clear that the future of RSA beneficiaries is very linked to their seniority in the system, summarizes Aurélien Boyer, research manager at the office fighting once morest exclusion from the Drees. 37% of those who had already been receiving RSA for four years or more in 2010 continued in this way until 2020, compared to 10% of those for whom this had been the case for less than a year.
The early releases, from 2011, follow the same logic. In other words, the more we stay there, the less we leave.
“This greater persistence in the RSA for people who have benefited from it for the longest may be partly due to certain characteristics at the time of entry into the benefit, such as lower qualifications, health problems or obstacles to accessing the service. “employment”, we can read in the study.
Having a salaried job promotes rapid and lasting exits from the RSA.

As if caught in a vicious circle, this persistence “can however also be linked to the consequences of the time spent in the RSA, which implies a situation of lasting poverty”, continue the authors of the study. The length of the last salaried professional experience obviously does not help, nor does having children, being over 40, or residing overseas.
The other interest of the study concerns the monitoring of these same beneficiaries with regard to their professional integration, from 2010 to 2019 on the other hand, due to lack of availability of data for 2020. Over this period, 4 out of 10 continued to receive the RSA without holding a job, salaried or not, at the end of each year. Among them, beneficiaries with great seniority or from overseas are over-represented.
Conversely, it is the beneficiaries with less than one year of seniority at the end of 2010 who are over-represented among those who manage to leave the RSA in a lasting manner by finding paid employment.
