Labour plans student-style ‘salary loans’ for the unemployed



The political party Labour proposes to reform the system for unemployed people. Since the financial crisis, many people get into (financial) trouble, especially when they lose their jobs. Therefore it is crucial to respond to this trend and prevent the people from falling off the ‘financial cliff edge’. Labour proposes that  jobless receive up to 70% of their previous income, so they don’t get into financial problems. This will last for a period up to six months and it must be refund when they have found a new job.

My opinion
It is a good thing to help people to not fall off the financial cliff edge. So I think this measure is a good respond to these problems. The time, six months, are also well chosen, because most people return to work within six months. However, this measure is not enough to solve the problem of unemployment. There must come more jobs, otherwise this measure won’t work.
