Description

This series consists of registered files of the Unemployment Assistance Board and its successors illustrating the range of duties and responsibilities imposed under the 1934 Unemployment Assistance Act and extended under subsequent legislation.

The files deal extensively with occupational pensions - the feasibility of establishing transferability and preservation of pension rights as already existing in other European countries. The files also look at how this affects/restricts mobility of labour especially amongst more senior members.
