Anspruch und Wirklichkeit von Hartz IV – Zwischenbilanz aus gewerkschaftlicher Sicht

WSI-Mitteilungen, 2016, vol. 69, issue 5, 390-392

Abstract: The removal of unemployment benefit in favour of the basic provision for jobseekers (Hartz IV) has shifted the corner stones of the German social system. For those with a job the loss of employment now presents a much larger drop in their economic situation, with negative consequences for their mobility on the labour market. The reduced public funds available to recipients of the basic social benefits, structural problems with the organisation of job centres, limited opportunities for Hartz IV recipients on the labour market as well as their exclusion from pension insurance contributions makes them second-class unemployed individuals. It is necessary to strengthen the upstream systems, not least the unemployment insurance and, on the other side, substantiate and further develop the promotion of participation within the basic social provision.
