ABSTRACT
This article investigates trends in an unemployment compensation in eight countries, which
joined the EU in 2004 in the period 1989-2004. By focusing on eligibility criteria, generosity
and duration of benefi ts on the one hand and obligations of unemployed on the other, the paper
identifi es different policy mixes.
Based on the ideal-type fuzzy set approach, the article fi nds a great variety of unemployment
compensation models. There is no consolidation of this policy across the region, therefore it is
hard to cluster the countries. The most stable cases were the ones which already provided the
compensation before the transition started. Changes in the ideal types of the unemployment
compensation were rather incremental than revolutionary. The direction of these changes can
be observed by identifying new dominating combinations of policies conversing the existing
institutional solutions.
