Globalization, Technological Change, and Labor Markets
Globalization, Technological Change and Labor Markets is an edited collection of papers drawn from the conference held at the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies in June 1997.

Low-Wage Work in Germany
In recent years, the German government has intentionally expanded the low-wage work sector in an effort to reduce exceptionally high levels of unemployment. As a result, the share of the German workforce employed in low-paying jobs now rivals that of the United States. Low Wage Work in Germany examines both the federal policies and changing economic conditions that have driven this increase in low-wage work. The new "mini-job" reflects the federal government's attempt to make certain low-paying jobs attractive to both employers and employees. Employers pay a low flat rate for benefits, and employees, who work a limited number of hours per week, are exempt from social security and tax contrib...
Labor Markets and Social Security
John T. Addison and Paul J. J. Welfens Because inflation seems moribund in OECD countries, stubborn unemployment became the top policy priority of the 1990s. Unemployment has increased in many countries, reaching critical levels for unskilled and young workers in most continental EU countries. Europe's employment performance has continued to lag that in North America. The U. S. in particular achieved a remarkable combination of low inflation and full employment in the late 1990s, at a time when the EU suf fered from record unemployment rates, even if inflation was remarkably low. Since the 1980s, the consensus view among economists is that structural unem ployment plays a much more important...
Existenzsicherung von Werkstatt-Beschäftigten
Beschäftigte in Werkstätten für behinderte Menschen erhalten ein Arbeitsentgelt in aller Regel deutlich unterhalb des Mindestlohns. Sie sind daher oftmals auf Sozialleistungen angewiesen. Hierzu gehören insbesondere Erwerbsminderungsrenten, Kindergeld, Wohngeld und Grundsicherung wegen Erwerbsminderung sowie für behinderungsbedingte Bedarfe Eingliederungshilfeleistungen. Angesichts der Komplexität des Gesamtsystems hat der Deutsche Bundestag der Bundesregierung 2019 aufgetragen, unter Einbeziehung der Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Werkstätten für behinderte Menschen und der Wissenschaft bis 2023 ein Reformkonzept zu erarbeiten. Zur Unterstützung des Reformprozesses stellt das vorliegende Werk die komplexen Regelungen dar und gibt einen statistischen Überblick über die Werkstatt-Beschäftigten und ihr Einkommen. Außerdem werden für den Status quo und zwei Reformvorschläge der Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft die damit verbundenen Finanzströme beziffert.
