Unemployment Insurance Market

Unemployment insurance (UI), also known as unemployment benefits, is a type of state-funded insurance that pays out money every week for individuals losing their jobs. To avail the benefits from unemployment insurance, workers must comply with all work and wage requirements set by the respective countries globally. State governments across several countries are primarily responsible for disbursing the benefits, which are funded by payroll taxes. Therefore, lower employment during the lockdown and huge loss of income among consumers is expected to boost the unemployment insurance market in the near future.
