Zero-Chômeur Territories: 83 Areas Embrace Innovative Unemployment Solution

The 'zero-chômeur territories' project, an innovative approach to tackle unemployment, has gained traction among public actors. Since 2020, 83 territories have been authorized to experiment with this audacious and territorial project, which aims to hire the voluntarily unemployed on an indefinite basis. The project's appeal lies in its audacity, territorial anchorage, and syncretism of ideas. It was first introduced in 2016, allowing ten pioneering territories to hire the unemployed indefinitely. Since then, studies have shown positive effects, including remobilization of long-term unemployment and access to stable employment, as well as the construction of local partnership dynamics. However, evaluations have also identified blind spots. There's a focus on employment at the expense of work itself, and a low representation of what an 'employment-purpose' company could be. The project's success relies on the mobilization of a local ecosystem of actors to define local needs and respond to them. The 'zero-chômeur territories' project, with its experimental and territorial nature, has shown promising results. It appeals to politicians for its innovative approach and has been authorized in 83 territories since 2020. However, its success depends on addressing identified challenges and the active involvement of local actors.
