Minister of Labour, Employment and Economic Inclusion (France)


The Minister of Labour, Employment and Economic Inclusion, commonly just referred to as Minister of Labour, is a cabinet member in the Government of France. The minister is responsible for employment, labour legislation as well as the integration of foreigners.
Following Sébastien Lecornu's second appointment as Prime Minister, the minister is Jean-Pierre Farandou.

History

The position was originally known as Minister of Labour, created in 1906, and later, Minister of Labour and Social Security Provisions. After its 1906 creation, the Inspection du travail service was integrated to it.
After the Second World War, the position was renamed Minister of Social Affairs. In its current state, the position was brought back in 1981 under the presidency of François Mitterrand—as a result of the economic situation of France in the 1980s—to oversee issues of social exclusion, unemployment, racism, sexism and social justice.
The seat of the ministry is the hôtel du Châtelet, an 18th-century neoclassical palace located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.
