ansioeläkkeitä

Ansiopäiväraha, often translated as earnings-related daily allowance or wage-earner's benefit, is a system of unemployment benefits in Finland. It is designed to provide income security for individuals who lose their jobs and are actively seeking new employment. The amount of daily allowance is based on the individual's previous earnings from employment, hence the "earnings-related" aspect.

To be eligible for ansiopäiväraha, an individual must meet certain conditions. These typically include having been a member of an unemployment fund, having worked for a minimum period, and being available for work. The benefit is paid out by unemployment funds, which are voluntary organizations, and the state also provides funding for the system.

The purpose of ansiopäiväraha is to cushion the financial impact of unemployment and to support individuals in their job search. It is intended to allow recipients to maintain a reasonable standard of living while they are unemployed. The duration for which ansiopäiväraha can be received is limited and depends on factors such as the individual's age and work history. The system is administered by a combination of unemployment funds and Kela, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland.
