Skriver med Peter Nilsson (IIES, SU) om den nya a-kassan på DN Debatt idag: lnkd.in/dZfjEWhe. Den nya arbetslöshetsförsäkringen med nedtrappning av ersättningen var 100:e dag ger dåligt skydd till långtidsarbetslösa medan ersättningen till korttidsarbetslösa riskerar att bli för generös.

🎉 Big news! 🎉 Our department's application for a new LNUC center, the Center for Equality of Opportunity and Big Data Policy Analysis, has been granted funding of 10 million SEK for the coming five years! 🥳
