Social justice in unemployment benefits

15/05/2026
In brief

The limitation of unemployment benefits comes with exceptions to take into account career paths and personal situations. Those over 55 with 30 years of professional career, part-time workers of at least half-time with an income guarantee allowance, as well as people enrolled by 31 December 2025 in training for a shortage occupation, retain specific protection. Incapacity for work also extends the duration of benefit entitlement, while low wages benefit from a higher minimum allowance during the first six months. A way of making the system more responsible without forgetting those who need security most.
