Key points
- The fund aims to support workers facing job losses due to global trade changes and economic crises.
- Recent reforms have expanded the scope of assistance to include self-employed individuals and young people not in education or training.
- There is a concern that the fund is sometimes used to pay for existing national income support instead of providing new services.
- The fund needs to be more accessible for small and medium-sized enterprises through flexible application rules.
