From the Paper:

"The government of any country has a number of responsibilities, some set forth in a constitution or other written form, some only implied. The issue of unemployment is seen as a government responsibility, with job creation being one of the ways people judge the success or failure of a government. Certainly, the economy is a government responsibility, and employment figures indicate the health or lack of health of the economy. Government has the responsibility of providing for the welfare of the people, which is tied to the health of the economy. The way a government meets this responsibility can vary widely, depending on the state of the economy, the philosophy of government that prevails, the degree of need, and other matters. Government should provide unemployment benefits to those who are looking for work but cannot find it in order to keep the people housed and fed while the economy develops."
