Why German Labour Market Reform Has Begun

Author

Listed:
  • Michael Neugart
Abstract
The current German government, against the odds, has managed to introduce a number of labour market reforms previously seen as impossible. The reforms are briefly outlined, and the author, drawing on a number of theoretical approaches, suggests a number of reasons why these reforms have happened when they did.
