Free membership as a student

Whether you should be in an unemployment insurance fund or not easy to answer - that's a yes.

It is especially related to you as students have the opportunity for free to participate in several of the largest Danish unemployment funds. Unemployment funds hope that you become a member when you finish the training.

By becoming a member, you have a safety net under you when you finish your studies, if you have no job. If you finish without being a member of an unemployment fund, you can look forward to cash - or no help from the state if you have wealth, since you then drain on your assets first.
