revenu d'intégration

“In order to have a correct overview of minimum income schemes in Belgium, a formal distinction must be made between the ‘right to social integration’ and the ‘right to social assistance’. Both are obviously interrelated, but they can be considered to some extent as separate schemes. The right to social integration presents itself mainly as a pathway to employment and/or the provision of a living wage.” I suspect that “pathway to employment” is their not particularly wonderful translation of your other term, trajet de mise en travail.

(Belgium) – you have to search for it (opens as separate pdf): “In terms of institutional design, the Belgian minimum income schemes are properly framed and embedded in the welfare system. The ‘right to social integration’, formalised by the law of May 26, 2002, has replaced the former law on the ‘subsistence minimum’. The new law covers all aspects from eligibility conditions to governance arrangements. The six eligibility conditions relate to age, nationality, residence, lack of financial resources, willingness to work, and enforcement of other social rights. Efficient delivery is guaranteed by the municipal Public Centres for Social Welfare. The social integration benefit (called ‘living wage’) is essentially a residual benefit, but cumulation with other resources is possible within some limits."
