Frauds and unemployments benefits

Abstract

The current economic crisis has stormed worldwide affecting and heavily punishing social strata or trade market structures and, as though it was a natural disaster, showing no mercy not even for the weakest ones, therefore now it is mandatory to check the quantity and the kind of every single damage caused as a result of this crisis. In this context, the European markets have unfortunately become easy aims for the regrettable financial situation we are undergoing and which is especially wreaking havoc in some members of the European Community. Today, Spain is leading the European ranking of job destruction, what can likely explain why the unemployment rate is the focus of a heated discussion where such rate has been identified as a critical point.

This fact has prompted awful consequences in a weakened labour market, where precariousness, confusion and lack of legal protection and motivation freely rule. The high rates of youthful unemployment have strongly concerned the European Union for the last years and so, it has focused all its efforts to economically consolidate an Europe much more committed to provide a reliable labour future for its people. After several legal trials it has been at last approven an action plan against black economy, which has essentialy restricted any kind of social services, and partially because of these measures it has failed, since this plan has been unable to fight against its more dangerous threat, the fraud.
