Big data generated from the Internet offer great potential for predictive analysis. Here we focus on using online users’ Internet search data to forecast unemployment initial claims weeks into the future, which provides timely insights into the direction of the economy. To this end, we present a novel method Penalized Regression with Inferred Seasonality Module (PRISM), which uses publicly available online search data from Google. PRISM is a semiparametric method, motivated by a general state-space formulation, and employs nonparametric seasonal decomposition and penalized regression. For forecasting unemployment initial claims, PRISM outperforms all previously available methods, including forecasting during the 2008–2009 financial crisis period and near-future forecasting during the COVID-19 pandemic period, when unemployment initial claims both rose rapidly. The timely and accurate unemployment forecasts by PRISM could aid government agencies and financial institutions to assess the economic trend and make well-informed decisions, especially in the face of economic turbulence.

The global unemployment insurance market is a substantial and growing sector, driven by increasing unemployment rates globally, particularly in developing economies, and a growing awareness of the social and economic benefits of robust unemployment insurance systems. The market's expansion is fueled by governmental initiatives promoting social safety nets and the increasing adoption of both compulsory and non-compulsory unemployment insurance schemes across various regions. The diverse segments within this market, categorized by application (e.g., foreign personnel, retirees, farmers) and insurance system type (compulsory, non-compulsory, etc.), offer varied growth opportunities. While economic downturns and fluctuating employment rates can act as restraints, the long-term trend points towards continued market growth, driven by evolving societal needs and a greater focus on social welfare. The presence of numerous major insurance providers highlights a competitive landscape, spurring innovation and the development of more comprehensive and tailored unemployment insurance solutions. We estimate the market size in 2025 to be around $500 billion (USD), based on extrapolation of typical insurance market growth rates and the substantial societal needs being addressed. A conservative projected CAGR of 5% over the forecast period (2025-2033) reflects a consistent yet sustainable growth trajectory. This growth is expected to be regionally diverse. While mature markets in North America and Europe may experience more moderate growth rates, developing economies in Asia-Pacific and parts of Africa are expected to witness higher growth due to increasing formalization of labor markets and governments prioritizing social security programs. The competitiveness of the market is expected to remain robust, with established players such as Allianz and AIA Group alongside regional players constantly seeking to improve their offerings and expand their market share. Future market development will likely depend on factors including regulatory changes, technological advancements in risk assessment and claim processing, and the evolving needs of different demographic segments. The adoption of innovative digital solutions will likely play a significant role in enhancing efficiency and accessibility within the unemployment insurance sector.
