Abstract

This article discusses whether self-employed and platform workers in Denmark have effective access to the unemployment insurance scheme. The Danish case is intriguing in a comparative context. Unlike other European States, it has been possible in Denmark for the self-employed to formally access the unemployment scheme since 1976. The system is also interesting as it is rather flexible, and was recently adapted to meet the challenges of changing work patterns and an increase in atypical forms of work, such as platform work. Yet, it is argued that important barriers to effective coverage remain. Some barriers, such as the voluntary character of the insurance and its eligibility criteria, are common to all persons with low and irregular work. Other barriers are specific to the self-employed and relate to the conditions for proving the closing down of business, and to waiting periods.

为自营职业者和平台工作者提供有效的失业保护?丹麦耐人寻味的案例
本文讨论了丹麦的自营职业者和平台工人是否能有效利用失业保险计划。从比较的角度来看,丹麦的情况是耐人寻味的。与其他欧洲国家不同,自 1976 年以来,丹麦的自营职业者就可以正式加入失业保险计划。这一制度也很有趣,因为它相当灵活,而且最近进行了调整,以应对工作模式不断变化以及平台工作等非典型工作形式增加所带来的挑战。然而,有观点认为,有效覆盖的重要障碍依然存在。有些障碍,如保险的自愿性质及其资格标准,是所有从事低薪和非正规工作的人所共有的。其他障碍是自营职业者所特有的,与证明企业倒闭的条件和等待期有关。
