You may have heard of “the Danish model”. Unemployment insurance funds are important in Danish society because we have built up a unique model in the employment market. It is natural in Denmark to change jobs, and it is natural to receive financial support and security in periods between jobs. This is called the Danish model, and it is the reason why more than 83% of all Danish employees are members of an unemployment insurance fund. In brief, an unemployment insurance fund is your economic security if you change jobs, become unemployed or remain outside the labour market for a period of time. This is a unique thing that we have in Denmark, and FTFa is proud to be part of this model.
