| | Re: Basic Income Referendum June 5 | Quote: | |  | | | The translation from Italin (cassa disoccupazione) is literally "unemployment fund", so I fail to see how it's incorrect or misleading.  | | | | | The confusion is likely because most people not knowing the difference would assume it to be a state-funded benefit like in other countries, rather than a simple insurance product.
And just as with the German Arbeitslosenversicherung, the Italian term you quote translates more accurately as job loss, the 'dis' prefix implying a changing state, whereas 'unemployment' could be taken by many to refer to any jobless scenario. |

Think unused, as opposed to disused,.

No, it doesn't. Think unused, as opposed to disused,. | | | | | Well, please show me any language anywhere that distinguishes never-employed from previously-employed.
