Size of cash and near-cash transfer programmes (unemployment benefits, means-tested assistance, universal child benefits). Architecturally distinct from forced-saving schemes — see condition welfare_architecture.
Ease of hiring/firing, collective-bargaining scope, minimum wage rigidity, temporary/permanent contract regulation.
Immigration policy openness — work visas, family reunification, asylum processing, border enforcement posture.
Two linked cash-benefit reforms under the Løkke Rasmussen II government: (i) the September 2015 integrationsydelse, a reduced cash benefit (roughly 45-50% of standard kontanthjælp levels) for adults who had not lived legally in Denmark for 7 of the preceding 8 years — targeting recent arrivals; and (ii) the April 2016 contanthjælpsloft (kontanthjælp ceiling, L 113), capping total household cash-transfer receipt (cash benefit, housing benefit, special support) to create marginal labour- supply incentive, alongside the 225-hour employment rule requiring documented work to maintain full benefit. Stated objective: raise labour-force participation and reduce the 'pull' of the Danish welfare system on recent migrants.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
