Description
The Board of Directors of the French National Health Insurance (Assurance maladie) has approved a new agreement with the French government providing for up to 1,700 job cuts between now and 2027, subject to "productivity gains" and a "review clause" in two years' time. The job cuts will be very gradual, with 5% and then 10% of the 1,700 departures taking place over the next two years. This is equivalent to 250 jobs between now and the end of 2024. This represents around 2% of the total workforce of the organisation, which has 82,000 permanent employees. The 'staff cuts' will specifically target the 'payment of benefits' and the 'management of entitlements', thanks to 'productivity gains' linked to the computerisation of treatment forms, invoices and other forms. On the other hand, a reinforcement of human resources is promised in other areas, including access to rights and care, the fight against fraud and prevention programmes.
A previous reorganisation has been recorded in the ERM Database with 3,950 job cuts announced in 2010 (FR-Assurance-Maladie-2010).

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
