Abstract

German welfare recipients accepting a so called One-Euro-Job (Ein-Euro-Job) are less likely to find regular employment, which is subject to social insurance contribution, than similar long-term unemployed without One-Euro-Jobs. This is the finding of a new study conducted by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW). The study analyzed the employment history of 160,000 German welfare recipients in the unemployment benefits II scheme (UBII).
