Paid leave and job rotation in Europe - a model for fighting unemployment

Objective

The Danish job-rotation system has enjoyed considerable success. When an employee takes training leave, an unemployed person can replace him or her and thereby acquire job experience. In 1995, for example, 80,435 workers took training leave. Around 70% of the positions made vacant were filled by unemployed people.

The job-rotation model can be used in an European context. The purpose of this project is therefore to introduce trial schemes in the participating countries, involving 25 to 30 people in each area. The target group is "service assistants", or people who care for the elderly in their homes. In the preparatory phase of the project, the partners will acquire an insight into the labour market structure of the participating countries. All partners at national level will develop and test the model to suit their own particular circumstances. After the trial schemes have been implemented, a conference will be organised to review the results and to draw up a final report.

Impact
The results are expected to contribute substantially to the development of both national and community labour market and vocational training policies. The project can also be seen as a breakthrough in the development of lifelong learning in Europe.
