The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to combat structural unemployment and to limit, as far as possible, the use of temporary employment contracts as tools to encourage firms to hire persons belonging to vulnerable groups – such as young people, single parents and persons without professional qualification. The Committee also recommends that such contracts be concluded only in those cases provided for by the legislation in force, and that sufficient guarantees be provided to ensure that employees recruited under such contracts are not prevented from enjoying the right to an adequate standard of living, as well as the labour rights set out in articles 6 and 7 of the Covenant. 38. The Committee recommends, in line with its general comment No. 5 (1994) on persons with disabilities, that the State party adopt all appropriate measures to ensure that persons with disabilities have equal opportunities for productive and gainful employment, in sheltered facilities as well as in the open labour market. The Committee requests the State party to provide information in the next periodic report on progress made in the implementation of Act No. 102/2005 of 11 February 2005, which requires companies with more than 20 employees to recruit 6 per cent of their workforce among persons with disabilities. 39. The Committee recommends that the State party adopt specific legislation criminalizing acts of domestic violence. The Committee further recommends that the State party increase its efforts to raise awareness of the seriousness of this offence and the mechanisms available to victims of domestic violence, in particular by directing its awareness campaigns to the most vulnerable groups of women, including those coming from non-European countries and those with a low level of education. 40. The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to combat poverty, including by extending the revenu de solidarité active (RSA), at present being tested in 34 departments with the objective of replacing some of the minima sociaux, namely the minimum-income allowance (RMI, or revenu minimum d’insertion,), the single-parent benefit (API) and the employment bonus (PPE), to other departments. The Committee further recommends that the State party monitor the implementation of the measures adopted with a view to ensuring that the needs of the very poor are addressed effectively. 41. The Committee urges the State party to take all appropriate measures, in close consultation with the population concerned, to reduce the phenomenon of residential segregation based on racial, ethnic and national origin, as well as its negative consequences on the living conditions of the affected individuals and groups. In particular, the Committee recommends that the State party take all appropriate measures, in order to: (a) Improve housing and living conditions in residential areas that are currently racially segregated by facilitating the renovation of existing housing complexes and improving their infrastructures, access to services and employment opportunities; (b) Support the development of new public housing complexes outside poor, racially segregated areas; and
