Abstract

The National Commission on Unemployment Compensation (NCUC) represents the only full‐fledged review of unemployment insurance since the enactment of this all‐important social programme in 1935. Assuming a body of commissioners deeply versed in unemployment insurance, considering also that the commission was to have two full years and adequate funds with which to work, there was an expectation that the commission would be the most significant event in the programme's history. Now that the commission has completed its task, it is time to review the results of its work and assess its worth.
