1917+1932=2009
I noted that the Social Democratic labour market spokesman has proposed to open unemployment funds for people who do not have unemployment insurance (Denmark is one of the few countries where this is still voluntary and due to the boom of later years the share of insured has been falling). I’ll just that that in general there are very few ideas out there and you will occasionally find some interesting cases of policy recycling.
Oh, and in both 1917 and 1932 the Danish state had to pay much of the extra cost.
Update: And the Social Democratic leadership moved in fast to kill that idea.
