Providing security for changes in working life

Unemployment insurance contributions

By paying unemployment insurance contributions, employees and employers enable unemployment insurance and support the renewal and development of skills and knowledge.

Adult education allowance

Adult education allowance has been discontinued from 1 August 2024. We grant the allowance until the end of 2025 for studies that have started on 31 July 2024 at the latest.
