abstract: 'The Unemployment Insurance (UI) system is the largest general social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
insurance program for working-age individuals in the United States and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
currently insures more than 140 million workers against temporary income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
losses related to unemployment. UI has been the bedrock of U.S. social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy in recessions, but the system has remained largely unchanged
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
since the mid-1970s despite substantial changes in the labor market that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
include deindustrialization, higher female participation, increases in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage inequality, and technological changes. This article summarizes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
existing empirical evidence on the state of the UI system and its
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effectiveness in achieving its stated goals. A range of reform proposals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are discussed that aim to address both the well-known, long-term issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with UI, as well as UI''s readiness to support the workforce of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
twenty-first century.'
