Chancellor Scholz skeptically: does the 1,000 euro premium really bring more jobs?
In a current discussion about work incentives, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has expressed his skepticism over the planned "bonus" for long -term unemployed. As part of the program "RTL directly special-at the table with Olaf Scholz", which will be broadcast this evening, the SPD politician expressed that he did not believe in the theory that people have to be tempted to work. "I think we were all born to work," said Scholz. However, this view is not undisputed, which is why he raised the question of how to change the way of thinking in society.
The remuneration of 1,000 euros for long -term unemployed who take on a job, he describes as a measure that "may not necessarily use it", but certainly does not do any damage. Scholz pointed out that this could definitely irritate the people who go to work every day and receive no premium. "Of course that stimulates the minds," he said.

The discussion about this topic has also led to critical voices within the traffic light coalition. Despite the concerns expressed, a government spokeswoman confirmed on Monday that the federal government would continue to adhere to the planned measures. This shows a clear will of the coalition to capture the course despite the internal party differences in order to help long -term unemployed.
The planned bonus is part of a more comprehensive package of measures that aims to make working for long -term unemployed more attractive, including additional support to facilitate the transition to the labor market. In view of the long times without employment, such programs are required for many to enable entry into the labor market.
The dialogue about the suitability and effectiveness of these measures is crucial in order to take into account both the needs of the unemployed and to maintain the incentive for those who are already actively in the labor market. The latest statements by Scholz have re -lived in the debate about work incentives and their necessity, a discussion that could be managed even more intensely in the coming months.
