Unemployment insurance is a government-funded financial assistance program designed to provide temporary income support to individuals who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. This program aims to help unemployed workers cover basic needs while they search for new employment opportunities.
The primary types of unemployment insurance include structural unemployment, cyclical unemployment, frictional unemployment, and others. Structural unemployment occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills workers possess and those required for available jobs. Different types of unemployment insurance include involuntary unemployment insurance and mortgage unemployment insurance, with various distribution channels such as agents or brokers, direct response, banks, and others.

Rising job insecurity is expected to drive the growth of the unemployment insurance market. Job insecurity refers to the uncertainty or fear of losing one's job or experiencing reduced employment status, such as fewer hours or lower wages. This increase in job insecurity is attributed to economic uncertainty, the rise of contract and gig work, corporate restructuring, sector-specific challenges, and changes in the workplace. Unemployment insurance (UI) helps address job insecurity by providing financial support and stability to individuals who lose their jobs or face reduced working hours. For example, Lancaster University reported in February 2024 that the UK insecure work index rose by 500,000 people in 2022 and 600,000 people in 2023. This growing job insecurity is driving the expansion of the unemployment insurance market.
