The Danish government has set down a Commission of five experts, including me, and four representatives for the social partners to examine the unemployment insurance scheme. In particular we have been tasked to examine how the system:
* can remain a central part of the Danish social welfare model and the flexicurity model in the labour market
* become more compatible with a modern labour market
* can be simplified and de-bureaucratised
* and how the system can become more robust in a more integrated European labor market
We have 1.5 years – stay tuned:)
