A new unemployment benefit (dagpenge) plan that is expected to prevent thousands of people from losing their unemployment benefit rights was recently proposed by the government. The plan will extend the current education initiative for unemployed until the end of this year and will incorporate a new labour market benefit, running from 2014 to 2017. Details were published in several articles.
