What is Inclusion through Economic Activity (EIA)?
Verified 30 September 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Inclusion through economic activity (IAE) allows people who are unemployed and face social and occupational difficulties (for example, people who receive social minima, very long-term job seekers) to benefit from an employment contract. The IAE may include training actions. We present you with the information you need to know.
The IAE is aimed at people who are particularly far from work:
Other individuals may also be eligible for an AEI if they meet several other criteria (for example: level of study 3 or infra, over 50, under 26, long-term job seeker, lone parent, disabled worker).
It is a body that can assess whether or not a candidate meets the conditions to enter this scheme.
This body, called prescriber, targets people and directs them to specialized social and vocational integration structures that can offer them work.
The list of prescribers national authorities are public and accessible by geographical area (examples: France Travail, local mission, cap emploi, department services, Agence Nationale pour la Formation Professionnel des Adults, Caf: titleContent, MSA: titleContent).
To benefit from the IAE, you must sign an employment contract with one of these structures.
Specificities may exist in the case of a temporary insertion work company:
General case
This contract is 4 minus minimum.
It may be renewed up to a maximum of 24 months (2 years) in principle. However, this contract may be renewed after that to complete a training action in progress.
A person of at least 57 years of age with social and occupational difficulties may conclude a DTA: titleContent.
Temporary insertion work companies (ETTI)
The duration of the contract is determined by the collective agreement. The total duration of these contracts may be 24 months (2 years).
An ETTI may conclude a DTA: titleContent with people over the age of 57 facing social and occupational difficulties. This contract may be concluded at least 12 months after the start of the IAE journey.
An employee hired under an IAE benefits, in particular before leaving the scheme, from enhanced monitoring and support (e.g. job search workshops, evaluation, skills assessment).
A site allows the candidate and/or his or her companion (e.g. France Travail, formerly Pôle emploi) to identify by geographical area the offers available under the IAE:
