Institut Montaigne proposes €1.9B youth anti-poverty plan: RSA at 18, food vouchers

The Institut Montaigne, a French liberal think tank, released a €1.9 billion package targeting youth poverty, including extending RSA (minimum income) to 18-year-olds, food vouchers, and refocusing apprenticeships. The proposal is a policy recommendation, not government action, and its adoption is uncertain. It signals a shift in French policy discourse toward more direct income support for young adults.
