Les dispositifs spécifiques d’emploi aidé et de formation au 1er trimestre 2018 - Forte baisse des effectifs en emploi aidé
À la fin du 1er trimestre 2018, le nombre de bénéficiaires d’emplois aidés en France métropolitaine s’élève à 1,21 million, en baisse de 98 000 par rapport au 4e trimestre 2017.
Sur un an, le nombre d’emplois aidés est en diminution de 307 000 (-20,2 %). Comme au dernier trimestre 2017, cela s’explique par une forte baisse du nombre de contrats aidés (-35,2 %) et des autres emplois aidés (-37,6 %), alors que le nombre de contrats en alternance est en hausse (+4,4 %).
Le nombre de personnes en recherche d’emploi qui suivent une formation baisse de 33 000 au 1er trimestre 2018. 230 000 personnes en recherche d’emploi sont en formation fin mars 2018, soit 61 000 personnes de moins que fin mars 2017 (-21,1 %).
