Unemployment and unemployment security
Employment offices provide employment services, help in job seeking and offer various support services such as counselling for job seekers. Unemployed people can also participate in labour market training.
The basic condition for receiving unemployment security is that the unemployed person is available to the labour market. Unemployed persons can apply for unemployment benefits when they have registered as job seekers with the employment office.
In Finland, a person can prepare for unemployment by joining an unemployment fund. These funds pay their members earnings-related unemployment allowance. KELA pays a basic allowance to those who are not members of any unemployment fund, if the conditions for the benefit are fulfilled.
