| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Both in Japan and Sweden, the income security system against the unemployment and poverty is constituted of the social insurance (unemployment insurance), the public allowance as the last safety-net and the allowance in the mid of these two systems (allowance provided by the labour market policy). In Sweden, the main part of the unemployment insurance is a voluntary system. The participant ratio to the unemployment insurance is low and a lot of people are not covered by the unemployment benefit. The insufficiency of the unemployment insurance can be pointed as a cause of the high dependant ratio to the public allowance in Sweden. To receive the public allowance, a person shall utilize his/her assets, abilities and every other thing available to him/her for maintaining a minimum standard of living. Both of the court cases and the administrative guideline strictly require recipients to be active in the labor market.
