Isi artikel

This article compares recipient ratios under the unemployment compensation systems of several Western nations, and outlines the results of analysis of factors determining whether these ratios are high or low. Seven countries’ figures are analyzed, such as Germany, France, the UK, Sweden, and Denmark. The transition of recipient ratios since 2000 is examined based on data released by governments, and the impact of the specific factors of unemployment compensation systems on these ratios is analyzed. The recipient ratio in Japan’s unemployment insurance system is said to be low compared to those of Western nations, but a comparison of the contents of these systems reveals that simple comparison of figures for each country runs a risk of leading to erroneous understanding. In Germany and the UK, generally thought to have high recipient ratios, a large percentage of recipients are receiving unemployment assistance funded by tax revenues, which differs from unemployment insurance. When limited to unemployment insurance only, Germany’s ratio is close to that of Japan, and the UK’s is in fact lower.
