The government should have social responsibility towards the unemployed to a certain extent.
The social responsibility should start with unemployment benefits to the individual based on the income they were earning in their last job. Along with the unemployment benefits, the government should also provide medical benefits to the unemployed in state supported medical facilities so that they can continue to treat their chronic illnesses and any unforeseen medical emergencies.
Government should also provide them with some other financial benefits like food stamps, child care benefits and training for new careers if they are chosing to opt out of their current career due to reasons of not being able to find a job for say 6 months or so.
However, all the government’s social benefits should be limited to the individual over a period of time and should not be for as long as the individual doesn’t find job. If the benefits are never ending, that gives the individuals less incentive to look for jobs and we end up producing unproductive work force.
If an individual cannot find a reasonable job during the specified period, then his/her case should be reviewed on a case by case and guidelines should be set up whether to extend all or some of their benefits along with some programs that provide tools to the unemployed for job search in the market. There should also be resources and tools available to individuals that provide training/schooling for other careers and this training/schooling should be a short term program preparing the individual for another career on a crash course basis, not a 4 year degree program.
Government should not be in the business of providing jobs to the unemployed because that is not a government function. It is the function of the businesses to provide jobs to people and the job of the individuals to look for opportunities. The government’s job is just to provide tools for this job search and provide relief to the unemployed for a specific period until they are able to stand on their own.
