The Minister of Social Affairs and Employment is a cabinet member in the Government of France. The position was originally known as "Minister of Labor" ("Ministre du Travail"), and later, "Minister of Labor and Social Security Provisions" ("Ministre du Travail et Prévoyance sociale"). After the Second World War, the position was renamed "Minister of Social Affairs". In its current state, the position was brought back in 1981 (after almost a decade) under the presidency of François Mitterrand -- as a result of the economic situation of France in the 1980s -- to oversee issues of social exclusion, unemployment, racism, sexism and social justice.

Its current title is Minister of Employment, Social Cohesion and Housing; the position is held by Jean-Louis Borloo.
