What is Labour Market Subsidy and why people are granted with this? Can one be granted with Unemployment Benefit and Labour Market Subsidy at same time?
Labour market subsidy is the most common unemployment benefit. It is granted if you are not entitled to something better, such as basic unemployment allowance or earnings-related, from the fund.

Labour market subsidy is 0,5e-25e/day.

So the reason people get less from Labour Market Subsidy is due the fact they already get some help such as employment benefit?

LMS is more or less what you get if you cannot get UB. To get UB you first have to have worked and payed up into the system, after some 500 days you drop off UB and enter LMS. LMS is also given to people not worked before entering the workforce, though theres restrictions, like if you're under 25 they require you to get a degree - or at least try.
