05.04.02 – Self-employed workers – Approaches

The objectives to be pursued in respect of self-employed recipients are the following:

 

  • where there is a good possibility that the self-employment will be profitable, to encourage the self-employed worker to MAKE A PROFIT (profitability is understood in the sense of a net income that, when added to income from other sources, will enable the worker to get off assistance); and

     

  • TO HELP recipients whose self-employment does not have a good possibility of making a profit ENTER THE LABOUR MARKET.

 

To attain these objectives, there are three APPROACHES that can be proposed to recipients:

 

1.    referring them to the Soutien au travail autonome [self-employment support] measure (STAU);

 

2.    setting DEADLINES for them to make a profit from self-employment; and

 

3.     imposing obligations for their ENTRY INTO THE LABOUR MARKET.
