There is a very high rate of unemployment in Réunion, currently around 30% but as high as 60% in the 15–25 age bracket. According to the French Catholic dictum, the lowest economic strata in society must not be left in the lurch. So even if people don’t have jobs, they are still provided with homes and are accorded a set minimum revenue (the Revenue Minimum d’Insertion), which enables them to survive. This leads to many people not really needing or wanting to work and increasingly those who do go out and find jobs do so for the sake of dignity, not finances. That said, almost half the population lives below the poverty line. One sees fewer people out on the streets in Réunion than is the case in Europe, not simply thanks to the RMI but also because there is still a strong sense of family solidarity in Réunion. People will take in the homeless.

In February 2012 riots broke out across the island, protesting unemployment, high fuel prices and the high cost of living. Buildings were damaged, cars set on fire and police injured; riot police were flown in from mainland France.
