Abstract

What are the effects of the profound transformation of the nature of employment, brought by the technological development, on the unemployment insurance? Has it adapted to cover the growing number of those who are involuntary employed below their potentials? By using the available data, the paper shows that the national unemployment insurance schemes exclude significant portion of persons who are working in atypical jobs, despite the fact that states have encouraged the expansion of non-standard employment and that the high unemployment rates have become a steady feature of the European economies.
