Abstract:

Over the last decades there has been a pronounced trend toward tighter benefit conditionality across the advanced democracies, in particular in the case of benefits for the unemployed. Until recently, however, the very limited availability of systematic cross-country data on the conditionality of social protection benefits has posed a serious constraint to research into the political drivers behind this trend and the effects of these policies. A new comparative database on the strictness of unemployment benefit conditions and sanctions in 21 advanced democracies since the 1980s now allows researchers to move past this constraint. In his talk, Carlo will present this new database, novel findings based on this database, and still open questions that this database can help answering.
