The French Journée de solidarité (or Journée de solidarité envers les personnes âgées / ''Day of solidarity with the elderly'') is a french law from the ''Code Du Travail''. It was established on June 30, 2004〔http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000000622485&dateTexte=〕 under the government of Jean-Pierre Raffarin. This law states that each year an employee must work seven hours for free for one of his or her employers, and that each year the employer has to pay a specific contribution. The contribution is defined by another law〔 Code de l'action sociale et des familles Partie législative Livre Ier : Dispositions générales Titre IV : Institutions Chapitre X : Caisse nationale de solidarité pour l'autonomie. 〕 at a rate of 0.3 percent to be paid to the ad hoc ''Caisse nationale de solidarité pour l'autonomie'' by the employers (0.3 percent is considered to be the approximate value of this seven hours' work). Its effect is the removal of a day's holiday. The implementation of this new kind of 'worked holiday' has been complicated, and has led to some controversy over its implications for social rights. ==Initial goal== Adopted after the 2003 heatwave caused the death of nearly 15,000 people, the revenue from the law is intended to finance actions in favor of elderly people, especially to prevent risks due to excessive heat. For practical purpose, firms transfer the amount of one day of gross salary without wage costs and social security contributions for each employee to the State. Estimated figures led to discussion. Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin judged them to be satisfactory. On June 1, 2006, he said that benefits from that day had been "incalculable". 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「Journée de solidarité envers les personnes âgées」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
