The underlying principle that guides the legislation in the National Labour Market Authority’s area is that active efforts lead to jobs.
The majority of our legislation aims to increase the supply of labour.
The main aim of our legislation is to help recipients of daily benefits and unemployment benefits into employment as fast and effectively as possible so they can support themselves and their families. The legislation also covers people who have a limited ability to work and therefore need special help to obtain and perform a job.
Central legislation
- The Act on disabled people in jobs (compensation, etc.)
- The Act on sickness benefits
- The Act on active employment initiatives (responsibilities and control)
