As announced last week by Marc-Philippe Daubresse, Minister of Youth and active solidarity, the Solidarity labor income (RSA) is now extended to young workers under 25 years. "This means concretely that the first beneficiaries will receive their allocations on October 5," said Minister of Youth and active solidarity. This provision of the plan "Action for Youth was announced September 29, 2009 by Nicolas Sarkozy during a visit to Avignon and is intended" to accelerate the return to employment for young workers. " It is aimed at young people aged 18-25 who worked at least 3,214 hours over three years. Either two years full time in the last three preceding the application.

"All periods of employment or self-employed are taken into account," said Marc-Philippe Daubresse.Namely contracts alternately, learning, CDD, CDI, or temporary assignments. The periods internships, volunteering, civil service, however, are not integrated. As for periods of unemployment compensation, but also redeployment agreement under Custom (PRC) and contract of employment transition (CTP), they are neutralized to a maximum of six months, increasing the period of 3.5 years, at most.

460 euros per month

The amount of "RSA young" is established on the same basis as the RSA and therefore calculated based on income and family status. Specifically, a person younger than 25 years without work and without any resource having worked for two years and exhausted entitlement to unemployment benefits will receive an allowance of 460 euros per month.As a young active with two years experience and who receives income of 500 euros per month with no other resource, he will receive a check from the state of 215 euros per month.

A communication campaign (posters, radio spots, web banners, flyers …) – with, as its slogan, "the RSA today is to young" – will be launched in early September to reach the target. However, considerable uncertainty remains about the number of beneficiaries and the overall cost of the device. The Elysee was banking on 160,000 eligible youth and a cost of 250 million full year.But the minister refused to confirm those figures.

"I reject the goals that we can not reach because I am a scientist," he said, calling the figure of 160,000, publicly reaffirmed on Feb. 24 by François Fillon, the "wet finger in the forecast." His services admit, however, that RSA is expected to cost 80 million young full year and thus ultimately benefit at much less than 100 000 young people.

The Federal Reserve took action Wednesday in a hesitant economic recovery in the United States by renewing its commitment to keep rates unusually low for an extended period. The Fed funds rate has been maintained in a range from 0% to 0.25%, which it has not budged since December 2008.

In his statement issued after a two-day meeting, the central bank is lowering its assessment of the pace of recovery, revealing pockets of weakness. It also is cautious about the volatility of financial markets, given the debt crisis in Europe. But she still insists that the economy will emerge gradually from the worst recession it has seen in decades.

"The financial support under the overall economic growth, which mainly reflects what is happening abroad," the Fed said in its statement.

The Fed President Thomas Hoenig, Kansas City has expressed its disapproval for the fourth consecutive time, holding that the commitment of the Fed to keep rates ultra low long could perpetuate a cycle of alternating periods of high growth phases and depression.

Realtors Falters

The Fed also notes that the economic recovery is underway. But short of what she observed in April, when she said that the economy continued to strengthen.

The monetary authorities have also noted a slowdown became evident in real estate. In April, it was noted that one starts to straighten. On Wednesday, they simply say that these starts "remain at a depressed level. It is true that the indicators are really not good. On Wednesday, new home sales for May fell 32%.This unprecedented decline in new home sales in May reduced to little hopes of a speedy resumption of growth.

As for consumer spending, the central bank said they "are increasing but remain constrained by high unemployment, modest revenue growth and a decrease in the rich heritage." In April, the Fed had referred to an acceleration of these costs.

The Fed also notes a recent slowdown in inflation, citing a drop in prices of energy and other resources.

Most economists believe the next move on interest rates will be higher but some of them say the central bank should consider other ways to boost growth and credit. What must be added the problems of the debt in Europe and the employment indicators also disappointing.

The French will they give a hard time in government? After the presentation of the draft pension reform by Labour Minister Eric Woerth, a survey of Le Parisien in France * Now provides an overview of their state of mind. In disagreement with the reform, of course, but with few illusions about a possible return back. The government has hinted it is true for several months that a reform of the pension system was inevitable, like the steps already taken in neighboring countries.

According to the poll published in the Thursday edition of Le Parisien, 60% of respondents said they in fact disagree with the proposed pension reform. A higher proportion of no surprise among supporters of the left (73%) than among supporters of right (24%).Traders, businessmen and artisans are also those who most support the reform, while workers and employees are the most heavily opposed.

Mobilization June 24

In total, 52% of respondents who consider the reform "unfair" and "not effective". Another aspect of the survey that could worry the government: they are 78% believed that the reform could generate important social movement. A concerted effort is already scheduled for June 24. It will "definitely strong, we do not fear," warned Eric Woerth Thursday morning on RTL. The unions, however, until Friday, when the project should be tabled several boards including the notice is required to reverse the project.

The government could include concessions on long careers and arduous.However, it should give way on the legal age of retirement, increased to 62 in 2018. Eric Woerth, Wednesday night on TF1, was very firm on this point: "We will not return to age-related measures because they are serious and socially acceptable," he warned. A delay on which the French did not have no illusions: they are 52% believed that the Socialist Party does not reintroduce the retirement at age 60, despite recent statements of Martine Aubry in this direction.

* Survey conducted by telephone, on a representative sample of 940 persons aged 18 and over, by the quota method.

At a time when travel is no longer the preserve of a few explorers, the Expo is no longer just visitors to travel around the world but rather to give them vacation ideas. The Chinese are now just under 55 million to go outside their borders on vacation. By 2020, they will be 100 million. This will be the tourist population of the world's largest. And some countries are willing to settle for a small portion of these new visitors. "We want to capture a share of this growth. That's why we joined the program joined the Nordic sells northern Europe as one destination for Chinese tourists, "says Palsson Hrein, Consul General of Iceland in Shanghai and commissioner of the Icelandic flag Expo 2010, which has made tourism one of the three themes of the exhibition.The Icelandic Minister of Tourism will make even the Expo June 17 This day is an opportunity for Reykjavik to invite Chinese travel agencies and journalists specialized in tourism.

The correlation between tourist attraction and intention to visit the pavilions of the exhibition is obvious. The United States, Australia, Japan, Thailand, France, Italy and Spain were the most popular pavilions during the test days of the Expo last two weeks. They are also the countries most popular with Chinese travelers.

The smaller nations or absent from the traditional tourist tours competing ideas to attract maximum visitors to their pavilions electronic check payday advance. They hope to offer a promotion that no travel agency can never offer them."This is a unique platform to build the brand image of a country," said Debby Cheung, director of Ogilvy Public Relations in China.

Denmark did not hesitate to move her Little Mermaid bronze for the first time outside of Copenhagen. The exhibit coming to the center of the Danish flag to the end of October. Operation successful communication since the advent of the statue has become a major "buzz" of Chinese Painting Expo. The calculation is simple, with three million visitors a year, the Nordic country can hope to show one of its landmarks twice more tourists in half the time. Luxembourg followed suit by bringing his G?lle Fra (Golden Male), moved the Monument of Remembrance to the entrance of the Luxembourg flag Shanghai.

Others offer a real experience.In front of a screen that broadcasts images of snowcapped mountains, visitors can smell the Swiss chalet mountain air, spread by machinery, just before getting on a chairlift athentique rooftop while green building.

During a speech Thursday at the University Cooper Union in New York, Barack Obama forcefully defended his plan for banking reform. Faced with dozens of top leaders of institutions in New York, Bush has denounced "the furious efforts of professional lobbyists to shape this legislation in a way that serves their own interests."

Most of the bosses of big banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America or Morgan Stanley, had not moved to hear this lesson in civics."I am here today because I believe these reforms are ultimately not only in the interests of our country but also in the interest of our financial sector," argued the President of the United States.

"Some on Wall Street have forgotten that behind every dollar borrowed or exchanged is a family that wants to buy a house, finance the studies of one member, create a business or saving for retirement," said Barack Obama. The President relies on the unpopularity of the major New York banks to overcome Republican opposition. The charge of fraud brought against Goldman Sachs by the SEC, U.S. financial markets authority, maintains that state of mind.By their excessive risk taking, the largest financial institutions are held accountable by the crisis that nearly triggered one second Great Depression.

The "surcharge" balance

A version of the financial reform has already been passed in the House of Representatives in December. The text gives the executive the power to dismantle a large financial institution in difficulty. It forces to standardize financial derivatives and to rank them on organized markets transparent. The possibility of requiring commercial banks to abandon their activities altogether derivatives is proposed by some Democrats.

The reform also creates a new agency to regulate financial services to the general public.Barack Obama also wants to cap the size of banks and ban those who have access to the discount window of Federal Reserve to speculate on their own account. The Republican opposition was fierce against the idea of creating a new fund to rescue banks fed by a surcharge for banks. Conservatives see it as an institutionalization of the principle of systematic rescue large banks irresponsible. The possible loss of this part of the reform would respond to their wishes.
