neutral  Clare Barnes: A representative doesn't necessarily do the same job as a "handläggare"

agree  Mark Andrew Thompson: with 'officer' - 'officer' sounds better to me than 'representative'
17 hrs
agree  Mårten Sandberg: (As per now) it is very little "insurance" about it since it is financed almost completely by tax money.

agree  Clare Barnes: Strictly speaking, A-kassa is not a benefit it is an insurance (soon to be much more expensive and probably compulsory).

  -> Thank you. Indeed this was a rather topical question.
neutral  Mårten Sandberg: The insurance labelling does not hold up strictly - financing comes mostly from tax means.

  -> Agreed to a point. This could break down into a political discussion I would like to avoid. A-kasa serves the purpose (supposedly) of the sort of insurance plans that exist in free countries. It is just like our health "insurance" plans or "pensions".
