Einkommenssicherung, Arbeitsmarktpolitik und Beschäftigung in Ostdeutschland
The paper presents three approaches currently discussed, which might be useful attempts to protect income not to fall below a certain threshold. These concepts are either useful in the case of unemployment or for employees in the low wage sector of the economy. The approaches discussed have recently been published or have been discussed in the public. These are a minimum wage concept, a special variant of subsidized wages as favoured by the German Council of Economic Experts, and finally a workfare approach as suggested by the IZA Bonn. After briefly discussing the estimated employment effects of the various approaches, the paper addresses the question how the East German labour market will be affected by these measures.
