indemnisation du chômage partiel

[Carcassonnaise]

How would you understand this? Chirac is talking about social reforms he introduced in the 1970s, including

"....un renforcement du système d'indemnisation du chômage partiel..."

Chômage partiel is short-time working (usually in the context of avoiding layoffs and redundancy). So I guess this could be "short-time working compensation".
