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:

  • Very long-term unemployed (24 months or more)
  • Persons receiving social minima (RSA, SSA, AAH).

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.

Temporary insertion work companies (ETTI)

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:
