Social Security Minister Karoliina Partanen has reacted to a proposal to reform unemployment benefits. The suggestion, put forward by Markus Lohi, proposes a more conditional social security model. Under this plan, unemployed individuals might be required to participate in volunteer work to receive full benefits. Potential activities could include working for non-profit organizations or sports clubs alongside job seeking and studying. While Minister Partanen views the proposal with cautious positivity, she warns of significant legal hurdles. Specifically, she believes the requirement could be challenging from a constitutional perspective. This follows a broader push by the Centre Party for a more reciprocal welfare system.
