Abstract: From the RMI (and the API) to the RSA, the social rights of women tested by activation policies targeting minimum-income recipients This article examines how, in France, gender issues are taken into account by social minimum income schemes such as the single-parent allowance (API), the minimum income allowance (RMI) and other recipient-activation systems implemented since the late 1990s - as well as by the active solidarity income (RSA), which was generalised in 2009. Assessing the diversity of social protection schemes and of women's access to social rights, it analyses how the API and the RMI were set up within a system valuing tradition family solidarity. The activation process aimed at social minimum-income beneficiaries, based on individual back-towork incentives within family schemes, appears ambiguous in terms of women's social rights and unable to solve the non-monetary problems preventing their return to employment.
