Unemployment benefit systems can be used to create incentives that encourage the unemployed to re-enter the workforce.
A team led by Trine Filges, undertook a C2 Systematic Review that examined the impact of unemployment benefit exhaustion on individuals’ exit-rate out of unemployment and into employment.
Twelve studies were included in the data-synthesis, and the results revealed clear evidence that the prospect of unemployment benefit exhaustion increases the probability of an individual finding a job by as much as 80%.
