Thank you for the question.
As I see it, employment insurance is one stage. However, if we are talking about a national strategy, it is going to be very important to think about better integration with matters like working conditions.
If we consider the International Labour Organization, especially convention no. 183 and recommendation no. 190, there is clearly a need. There really is a problem, a gap, in linking employment insurance with working conditions, especially for women. Some countries, like Denmark and Finland, are a long way ahead in this area. They have been able to link the two situations and to make sure that a woman who becomes pregnant can take advantage of preventive withdrawal and not lose her job.
The problem at the moment, especially with small and medium businesses, is that employers do not necessarily have the means to cover all the costs. That is something that needs attention.
