Le non recours à un système d’assurance chômage avec politiques actives d’emploi

Abstract

[eng] In July 2001, France introduced a more generous unemployment-insurance system. Persons registered at the National Employment Agency (ANPE) at the time of the reform could choose between staying in the former system and switching to the new one. Our paper examines the selection issue and seeks to rationalize non-participation in the new system. For this purpose, we measure the non-take-up rate and characterize the staying and switching populations. We estimate the non-take-up rate and identify the staying population by applying defective duration methods to ANPE records. The estimated non-take-up rate is low but significant. Stigma, informational issues, and expectations of short unemployment spells are found to explain non-participation. [fre] Cet article étudie la décision de participer à un système d’assurance chômage avec politiques actives d’emploi en s’appuyant sur la réforme française de Juillet 2001 qui introduit un accompagnement systématique des chômeurs. Les chômeurs inscrits à l’agence pour l’emploi au moment de la réforme pouvaient choisir entre rester sous le régime qui les couvrait jusqu’alors et basculer dans le nouveau système. Pour mesurer le taux de recours et expliquer la sélection, nous estimons un modèle de durées à risques concurrents et défectueux à partir des données administratives de l’Agence Nationale Pour l’Emploi. Le taux de non recours estimé est significatif mais faible. La stigmatisation, des problèmes d’information et l’anticipation d’un court épisode de chômage permettent d’expliquer une non souscription.
