The implementation of such a system would therorically allow each person from the age of 18 to benefit from a basic wage of around 1600 €/month (even by studying) up to a maximum of 6,000 €/month according to a level of qualification validated by a specific method. This system could prevent the exploitation of the mass by the rich because people would not be forced to work for them. And mechanically would greatly impact capitalism.

The notion of individual qualifiction (qualification personnelle) needs to be distinguished from that of a mere certification, because in such a system the qualification would imply a compulsory remuneration from the employer, fixed by the collective agreements of a branch. Having a diploma does not necessarily guarantee access to a wage. Instead it provides the legitimacy to claim a post on the labour market.

Individual qualifications aim at granting irrevocable levels following the model of the current French civil service. Thus, according to a democratically chosen wage scale, wage progression would take place through a grade increase throughout an individual's career.

After like any system, we can have criticism.

So it means that if my parents pay me to get a PhD on "the use of sausages's forks in the cooking habits of the late Ptolemy II dynasty " I will be entailed to a "post on the labour market" ? All of this is wishful thinking.

Yeah our current system where success and failure is based on who's ancestors owned slaves is much more fair.
