The Prime pour l'emploi (PPE) was a French tax credit aimed at reducing the impact of falling Revenu de solidarité active (welfare benefits) for people returning to work. Implemented in 2001 by the government of Lionel Jospin, it was replaced by the prime d'activité in 2015. In 2008, 8.7 million working people received the tax credit. The average amount was €36 per month.
