Arbeitslosigkeit

Langfristige Arbeitslosigkeit, Jugendarbeitslosigkeit und der Anstieg von unterbeschäftigten oder unfreiwilligen Teilzeitbeschäftigten bleiben in vielen Mitgliedstaaten ein Problem. Arbeitslosigkeit, insbesondere Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit, erhöht das Risiko sozialer Ausgrenzung, Armut und Ungleichheit und erhöht die Kosten für soziale Dienste und öffentliche Finanzen. Laut der Europäischen Säule der sozialen Rechte haben Arbeitslose das Recht auf personalisierte, kontinuierliche und konsistente Unterstützung, einschließlich angemessener Arbeitslosenunterstützung mit angemessener Dauer.

Social protection 2.0: Unemployment and minimum income benefits

This report focuses on unemployment and minimum income benefits for people of working age. Individuals with short or no employment records (mainly young people), the self-employed, those with non-standard working arrangements, and the long-term unemployed are often not entitled to higher-tier, or any, unemployment benefits. No Member State was identified where more than 80% of those entitled to minimum income benefits receive them. Benefit recipients at higher risk of having an inadequate income include those without access to social housing in areas with high housing costs, unemployed individuals whose most recent job was low paid and the long-term unemployed people. The report also investigates the rejection of applications (frequently, around 30% are rejected), the digitalisation of application processes (most common for unemployment benefits) and economic activation requirements (typically, 1–6% of benefit recipients annually are sanctioned for not complying with activity requirements) and service entitlements.

Social protection for the unemployed - Background paper

This background paper focuses on one important aspect of social protection: unemployment benefits, both first tier (usually contributory) and lower tier (predominantly tax-based, non-contributory and means-tested). Unemployment benefits help to cushion the impact of job loss on household finances and act as an economic stabiliser. The paper examines trends in expenditure on unemployment benefits, identifies gaps in formal coverage, discusses groups for whom benefits are inadequate, and looks at non-take-up, rejection decisions, digitalisation of application procedures, and links between unemployment benefits and service entitlements.

Measures to tackle labour shortages: Lessons for future policy

As economies begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, labour shortages are becoming increasingly evident despite the impact of the war in Ukraine on energy and commodity prices. These include shortages exacerbated by the crisis in some sectors and professions where they had been endemic for some time. This report looks at measures implemented at national level to tackle labour shortages in the health, care, and information and communication technology sectors, as well as those arising from the twin green and digital transition. It assesses what measures are effective and explores the contextual factors supporting or hindering effective policy implementation and outcomes.
