Proposition de loi modifiant l'arrêté royal du 25 novembre 1991 portant réglementation du chômage, afin d'inclure le travail indépendant et statutaire dans le calcul du passé professionnel suffisant permettant aux plus de 55 ans d'échapper à l'exclusion du chômage.

This Belgian bill would amend the 1991 royal decree that regulates unemployment benefits. It proposes counting self-employed work and statutory work when assessing whether an older jobseeker has enough prior work history to avoid being excluded from unemployment benefits. Under the current rules, such work may not count toward that threshold. Based on the title only, not the full legislative text. The change would mainly affect Belgians aged over 55 who have worked as self-employed people or in statutory roles and who are seeking unemployment benefits. Their eligibility could depend on whether this earlier work is recognised.
