Abstract
AbstractThis study contributes to the welfare regime literature by analyzing unemployment compensation programmes – unemployment insurance (UI)/assistance (UA) programmes and redundancy pay schemes – of welfare state/occupational welfare regimes. It covers 15 countries of theOrganisation forEconomicCo‐operation andDevelopment (OECD) selected fromSouthernEuropean,Liberal,Continental‐corporatist andSocialDemocratic country clusters. In contrast to the common argument thatSouthernEuropean countries have underdeveloped formal unemployment compensation systems, this study argues that they (especially inSpain,Portugal, and to some extent Italy) are comparable in strength to those inContinental‐corporatist countries if occupational welfare programmes – notably redundancy pay – are considered alongside welfare state programmes for unemployment protection. The study also outlines the characteristics of redundancy pay schemes in the four country clusters and shows how different redundancy pay schemes are linked toUI/UAschemes in these clusters.
