Vertaling van "were temporarily unable " (Engels → Frans) :

Unemployment insurance was originally established to provide assurance that benefits would be available to those who lost employment or were temporarily unable to find work through no fault of their own.
L'assurance-chômage visait initialement à garantir des prestations aux personnes ayant perdu leur emploi ou étant temporairement incapables de travailler, sans que cela soit de leur faute.

And I think we are, but we have a lot of work to do. In the last fifteen years or so, however, governments have all but abandoned the welfare state that used to protect those who could not compete in the regular labour market or who were temporarily unable to do so.
Depuis une quinzaine d'années, toutefois, les gouvernements ont pratiquement tous renoncé à l'État-providence qui protégeait ceux qui ne pouvaient s’insérer sur le marché du travail ordinaire ou ceux qui étaient temporairement incapables de le faire.
