Expansion of employment insurance coverage to weekly working hours of 10 hours or more Cabinet decision. The government will provide employment insurance to people working part-time and short-time, so that they can receive unemployment benefits, childcare leave benefits, etc.

The Cabinet on the 9th approved a bill to revise the Employment Insurance Act, which includes the expansion of the Act. Under employment insurance, by paying a certain premium, you can receive benefits when you lose your job or take childcare leave, but this is limited to those who work 20 hours or over per week.
