Hvorfor er en a-kasse vigtig?
Why is an unemployment insurance fund important?
Måske har du hørt om den danske model. A-kasser er vigtige i det danske samfund, fordi vi har opbygget en helt unik model på arbejdsmarkedet, hvor det i Danmark er naturligt at skifte job, og er naturligt at få økonomisk støtte og sikkerhed i perioder mellem jobs. Det kaldes den danske model, og det er også derfor mere end 83% af alle danske lønmodtagere er medlem hos en A-kasse. Kort sagt er a-kassen dit økonomiske fundament, når du skifter job, bliver ledig eller står uden for arbejdsmarkedet i en periode. Det er en unik ting, som vi har i Danmark, og FTFa er stolte af at være en del af denne model.
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.
