Eurofound: Social protection 2.0: Unemployment and minimum income benefits

The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) has released a report studying the unemployment and minimum income benefits for working-age individuals across the European Union. This report delves into the social protection frameworks in each Member State, assessing the accessibility, adequacy, and effectiveness of support provided to unemployed individuals, particularly those in low-income brackets. The study provides insight into the challenges faced by social protection systems in meeting evolving needs, particularly with the rise of digitalisation. France's social protection system is one of the focal points of this analysis. IR Share, Eurofound's national correspondent, contributed detailed data on the French model, identifying both its strengths and areas where it falls short. The report concludes with recommendations for strengthening social protection systems across the EU.
