I'm not a fan of unemployment ...Dear Anonymous<br /><br />I'm not a fan of unemployment insurance, it only really works if we have full employment with unemployment being an occasional thing. But we haven't lived in that economy for decades, instead we have people with two or three part time jobs, casual employment and long periods of unemployment. <br /><br />But an interesting idea.<br /><br />Mark MoncrieffMark Moncrieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988061141727262837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190326263026916588.post-45752412955116149412013-11-01T10:08:36.343+11:002013-11-01T10:08:36.343+11:00A very good exegesis of the issue.
I have always ...A very good exegesis of the issue.<br /><br />I have always thought that we need to have some kind of unemployment insurance rather than a government payment. This could be managed through the superannuation system.<br /><br />Of course we would still need to have the dole for those who do not have insurance, because they haven't worked. We would also need a commensurate cut in income tax rates so that we could the money aside for the insurance preiums. However, I think that would be a more Tory approach in that it would encourage people to look after themselves.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
