Scholz doubts about 1,000 euro premium for long-term unemployed!
In a recent interview, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has expressed his concerns about the desired "bonus" for long -term unemployed who aims to promote their return to the labor market. He explained that he did not believe that people have to be "lured to work", since in his opinion "we all were born to work". This said Scholz in the program "RTL directly special - at the table with Olaf Scholz", which will be broadcast this evening.The planned premium of 1,000 euros for long -term unemployed in the recording of a job could "perhaps not use", but he starts to differentiate by noting that this "does not harm". This raises questions, in particular about justice towards the working people who fulfill their job every day and do not receive such premium.
Development of the civil allowance rules
Last week, the cabinet decided drastic adjustments to the regulations for the recipients of citizens' money. These changes contain stricter measures for people who reject an offered job. In the future, you will have to expect higher sanctions in order to increase the incentive to start work. As part of this new regulation, long -term unemployed who are employed for more than twelve months for social security contributions can receive a one -off 1,000 euros. This regulation should come into force on January 1, 2025.The introduction of this premium and the accompanying measures have not been met with consent, even within the traffic light coalition. Critical voices said that this was not the right solution to integrate long -term unemployed into the labor market. Despite these concerns, a government spokeswoman emphasized on Monday that the federal government would hold on to the plans, which further heats up the discussion about the labor market policy measures.
Scholz admitted that not all people share the same perspective on the subject of work incentives. The Chancellor clearly understood that it was necessary to work on the social attitude to work. This discussion is essential, given the current challenges in the German labor market.
In view of these developments, it remains to be seen how effectively the planned regulations will be in practice and whether they actually lead to long -term unemployed seeing an incentive to actively join the labor market.
