| Research Abstract |
This study is to comparer the protections and supports for the unemployed persons in Public Assistance System between Japan and France, by choosing three cities. It is an effort to clarify the efficacy for the life and the seeking- job of the unemployed persons, by carrying out in-depth interviews on them.
Current assistance laws in Japan, in France are quietly different: Japanese system (SEIKATSU-HOGO) limits the scour, especially the persons who can work, by assuming that more generous benefits would never offer incentive to work. And the employed people interviewed also strictly like to avoid assistance, by feeling lack of social status, in spite of poverty of the familial life. Really few unemployed can be accepted to receive benefit, with the exception of certain sick cases. This situation forces them to being working-poor of which wage is under level of assistance..
On the contrary French systems (Job-seeker assistance: Minimum income for integration-Single-parent allowance) have been built as benefits for persons deprived job. The life with income-support has become a common experience among young or long-term unemployed people. For indeed, controls and penalties are getting more severe, but certain beneficiaries refuse, with various, diverse motifs, job(s) proposed by the public job-seek agency or social worker. This refuse don't lead to stop the benefit in cash, that is to permit the inactivity of beneficiaries. On the other side, it is seen that not a litter beneficiaries who have harried off with job, many times short-term contract, return to some assistance. As a result, support and protection are more longer periods of time.
