Salary Without Job: Have you ever wondered how you will spend months without income if you lose your job? This concern is common in countries like India, but some countries in the world do not leave their citizens alone in such difficult times. Norway is one such country, where the government not only provides financial help on losing a job, but also supports the person till he gets a new job. The unemployment allowance system here is considered to be one of the most effective and humane social security models in the world. This system helps people to become self-reliant by protecting them from mental stress.

Job is lost but income continues

According to the official website of nav.no, the government in Norway gives 'Unemployment Benefits' i.e. unemployment allowance. If someone loses his job, the government gives him money every month. This money is available until he gets a new job or the stipulated time is over.

How much salary is received?

Unemployment allowance is decided on the basis of the previous salary. Usually a person gets about 62.4% of his previous earnings every month. For example, if someone was earning Rs 1 lakh earlier, then he can get about 62 thousand rupees in unemployment.

Who gets this benefit?

There are some important conditions to take advantage of this scheme:

The person should have earned a fixed minimum income in the last 12 months

He should not have left the job himself (has not resigned)

He should be continuously looking for a new job

How long does one get the benefit?

The Norwegian government gives this benefit for a maximum of two years. But it also depends on how much income the person had earned while in the job. Also, the beneficiary has to prove from time to time that he is really looking for a new job.

Why is Norway's system special?

Norway is considered one of the happiest countries in the world. A big reason for this is its strong social security system. Be it education, health or unemployment - the government stands with the citizens on every front. This is the reason why people there live a stress-free life.
