Abstract: "In the public debate in Germany, it is often assumed that it is financially more attractive for migrants and refugees to remain on mean-tested benefits for unemployed people than to work. On the contrary: in Germany, there is no situation in which someone who works and takes advantage of all the transfers they are entitled to is worse off than someone who is not in employment." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
