Philippe Semenowicz et al., « Territoires zéro chômeur de longue durée : rupture ou convergence avec l’insertion par l’activité économique ? », HAL-SHS : économie et finance, ID : 10670/1.2epmb2
The "zero long-term unemployed" (TZC) experiment has been introduced into the public debate as a "new model" for combating long-term unemployment. However, from the outset, the project has had similarities with economic integration schemes (EIS). To what extent does TZC constitute a break with EIS? On the basis of a field survey conducted over three years in one of the experimental areas, supplemented by a series of semi-structured interviews with the project's national players, we approach this question from the angle of a comparison of their respective socio-economic models. We highlight the extent to which the original ambition of the TZC project places it at a distance from developments in the IAE sector. However, the operationalisation of the experiment produces forms of convergence with the EIS.
