Abstract	Although most displaced workers in Sweden find a new job quickly, providing adequate income support to workers following displacement is crucial, especially when the economy is weak and job growth limited. A good income support system should help to compensate the major costs borne by workers following job displacement without reducing their incentives to move quickly into new jobs. This chapter examines the different sources of income support available to displaced workers in Sweden and to unemployed people in general, with particular attention to the coverage and generosity of the support for displaced workers. Overall, displaced workers with stable work histories have relatively good access to income support through both unemployment insurance and supplementary top-up schemes. The main challenge is to strengthen financial provision for more vulnerable groups of displaced workers such as younger workers with short tenure and blue-collar workers.
