Income Support for the Unemployed : Issues and Options
With the aim to provide guidelines for countries wishing to introduce or improve income support systems for the unemployed, the book summarizes the evidence about the performance of five such systems: unemployment insurance, unemployment assistance, unemployment insurance savings accounts, severance pay, and public works. These systems are evaluated by two sets of criteria: (1) performance criteria, evaluating how well these systems work - how they protect incomes and what other, particularly efficiency related, effects they may have; and (2) design and implementation criteria, evaluating how these systems fit the country - how suitable are these programs given country-specific conditions, chief among them being labor market and other institutions, the capacity needed for administering income support programs, the size of the informal sector, and prevalence of private transfers. This report also offers summary evaluations of alternative systems by describing the strengths and weaknesses of each system and pointing out the country specific circumstances that are particularly conducive to performance.

With the aim to provide guidelines for
countries wishing to introduce or improve income support
systems for the unemployed, the book summarizes the evidence
about the performance of five such systems: unemployment
insurance, unemployment assistance, unemployment insurance
savings accounts, severance pay, and public works. These
systems are evaluated by two sets of criteria: (1)
performance criteria, evaluating how well these systems work
- how they protect incomes and what other, particularly
efficiency related, effects they may have; and (2) design
and implementation criteria, evaluating how these systems
fit the country - how suitable are these programs given
country-specific conditions, chief among them being labor
market and other institutions, the capacity needed for
administering income support programs, the size of the
informal sector, and prevalence of private transfers. This
report also offers summary evaluations of alternative
systems by describing the strengths and weaknesses of each
system and pointing out the country specific circumstances
that are particularly conducive to performance. |
