AB The first Great Repression of the twenty-first century, which collapsed the most importanteconomies in the world since 2007 to 2013, has produced a number of important effects,including high unemployment rates. In the case of the EU and the Eurozone, someparticular difficulties had to be overcome, what made the crisis even deeper. The so-called«Eurozone crisis» arrived when several countries assumed private debts from their bailouted banks. Hence, it started the second part of the depression characterized by thedifficulties of these states to repay or refinance their own sovereign debt. The special stateof development of the Eurozone contributed to reinforce the crisis, because somestructures hadn’t been developed and the traditional national tools linked to the monetarypolicy were no more available.This produced a new phase within the recession, in which the so-called austerity measuresplayed a central role. Without other alternatives and in exchange of financial help, theseEuropean countries were forced to reduce their budget deficits severely. The final resultwas more crisis, higher unemployment and an increasing anti-Europeism feeling all overEurope.In this context, the proposal of European unemployment benefit raised. On the one hand, itwould act as an automatic stabilizer, that is, giving the Eurozone those kinds ofmacroeconomic policies to fight against the effects of crisis whose lack reinforced it. Onthe other hand, it would permit to show the human face of the European economicgovernance, revitalising the social spirit of the European project. This paper aims to give afirst approach to the basic characteristics of this proposal. It will be divided as follows.Firstly, the economic background of the proposal will be explained in order to highlightwhat kind of objectives are followed. Second, the basic lines of the different alternativeswill be analysed. Finally, some conclusions will be delivered.
