The Grenelle de l'insertion or Grenelle Insertion, concluded on 27 May 2008, refers to an open multi-party debate in France that gathered representatives of national and local government and organizations (industry, labor, professional associations, non-governmental organizations) on an equal footing, with goal of unifying a position on the reform of the national policy of insertion. It insisted on the need to reform the insertion system to make it more attractive for people to return to work. It was held from November 2007 to May 2008, instigated by President Nicolas Sarkozy. It led to various reforms, among them the implementation of the Revenue of Active Solidarity (RSA) in 2008. ==Background== The organization of a Grenelle de l'insertion was announced by the President on 2 October 2007, to be dedicated to the transformation of political integration. The government pointed out that the insertion system had become increasingly complex and caused exclusion. Gains from work are offset by the reduction of social benefits only paid in case of unemployment. A "Green Paper on integration", published in March 2008, noticed that the current allowances in case of unemployment -revenu minimum d’insertion (RMI), allocation parent isolé (API) and allocation adulte handicapé (AAH)- do not incite people to ge back to work and cause an inactivity trap to appear. More than 7 million French people lived below the poverty line (817 euros per person per month) in 2007. In its 2007-2008 report, the National Observatory of Poverty and Social Exclusion found that the number has not increased since 2002, but their situation has deteriorated, while the phenomenon of working poor has increased. An estimated 1.5 million people in 2003 and 1.7 million in 2005 were concerned. On 21 November 2007, the High Commissioner for Active Solidarity against poverty unveiled three objectives during the Grenelle insertion negotiations: * placing the insertion at the heart of social debates by giving voice to professionals, associations and beneficiaries, and involving local authorities, businesses and social partners * improving the overall performance of integration policies * initiating substantive reforms, merging the dozen existing contracts in a single contract of integration in the public and private sectors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grenelle Insertion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
