In contrast, several countries experienced an increase in the number of benefit recipients that outpaced the growth in unemployment (Czech Republic, Hungary, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, TUrkey, United Kingdom, United States). In some cases, this may have been the result of measures designed specifically to increase benefit coverage or eligibility (e.g. United States, Korea) or to extend benefit duration or generosity (e.g. TUrkey, United States). It is possible that some people could receive both Ul and UA in a single year and so be counted twice.
