Declining political support for employment centres

Socialistisk Folkeparti, the junior member of the governing coalition, has delivered a vote of no-confidence to the network of council-run employment centres by proposing that the unemployed should be allowed to register with a private hiring firm after losing their jobs. Currently, all unemployed individuals must be registered with their local job centre in order to receive dagpenge benefits. SF's proposal is similar to one put forward by opposition party Venstre earlier this month and comes after sustained criticism of the job centres’ ability to help people find work. – Berlingske
