Should the German social protection system be adapted following the Covid-19 crisis? (Series "COVID-19 Crisis: Consequences for the Labour Market")

Abstract

"Social protection systems play an important role in mitigating the negative social consequences of the Covid-19 crisis. The crisis has clearly revealed gaps in the social protection systems of most European countries – especially regarding the solo-self-employed; persons working in new forms of non-standard employment such as platform workers; and so-called “mini-jobbers” which are specific to Germany. These gaps call for further adjustments which extend beyond the crisis." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
