The general idea is that you do not get UBI on top of current unemployment benefits, and by having a universal income a lot of benefit programs will become obsolete.
One can for example look at people with part time and compare the average dependence on social support vs those who are unemployed. The assumption is that those with some income are part of fewer benefit program and interacts with fewer social administrators.
Do Finland have a similar system to Sweden where Unemployment benefits depend if the person paid a unemployment insurance when they were employed?
- tuukkah 8y agoI'm not familiar with the Swedish system but in Finland the unemployment benefit depends on whether you paid an unemployment insurance fund a membership fee during your employment. It's something like an insurance except the fees don't cover most of the costs and the state covers them instead.
