The active role of passive labour market policies

A conceptual text focusing on the analysis of a rational structure of unemployment benefits designed to best serve the purpose of enabling the unemployed to find as quickly as possible a new job that matches their qualifications. The text concentrates on the discussion of theoretical solutions to the dual nature of unemployment benefits, namely their role in, on one hand, activisation, and on the other in income support. However, this discussion of the problem does not refer to the conditions concerning the practical administration of the benefit system (which is a separate issue), as these are generally the result of many years of overlapping various ad hoc conditions and compromises.
