Fünf Jahre Hartz - Eine Bilanz aus Sicht des DGB

The paper establihs a balance, five year aftre the vote of the so called Hartz-legislation (about flexicurity on the german labour market). The author, member of the federal direction of the german union DGB, underlines the strong, structural changes due to the new legislation, although the main aim of the Hartz comission to reduce the unemployement rate by 50% has been failed. One of the structural evolutions is the increasing precarious employement and the diminution of short-time unemployement. Poverty also increased.
