• Against a background of mass unemployment & the increasing precariousness of employment, the current changes in the labour market demand that we examine the previously central role of paid employment in social integration. If the individual now deprived of employment or having a temporary contract is by dint of this fact less included in society or is less secure by not having a permanent salary, is it to say that he embodies the face of the de-affiliated, of those who miss out on social benefits? Taking the example of the Reunion Island which has the highest level of unemployment & population covered by the minimum income (RMI: Revenu Minimum d'Insertion) in the country, this article endeavours to explain & understand how, in the context of a protective society & increasingly flexible employment market, new methods of social integration without & resulting from paid employment are being formed.
