Less Self-Employed According To The Minimum Wage
According to a study, the statutory minimum wage initially did not result in employers forcing employees into self-employment on a large scale. After the introduction of the statutory lower wage limit at the beginning of 2015, solo self-employment fell by 7.4 percent a year later, as shown in a study by the Center for European Economic Research (ZEW) and the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) on behalf of the Minimum Wage Commission emerges.
Accordingly, there were also declines in sectors particularly affected, such as janitorial or repair services. This would dispel fears that employers would force their workers to become self-employed on a large scale in order not to have to pay the minimum wage, explained ZEW expert Moritz Lubczyk. Overall, there was already a sustained decline in solo self-employment in Germany before 2015, according to the information.
In the years around the introduction of the minimum wage, the German economy ran smoothly. In general, the number of people who started their own business because of a lack of alternatives on the job market fell during this period. According to the study, this development was further reinforced by the effects of the minimum wage.
The statutory minimum wage was introduced on January 1, 2015 at a gross amount of EUR 8.50 per hour. Most recently there was an increase in two stages to the current 9.35 euros. On July 1, 2021, it will be increased to EUR 9.60, on January 1, 2022 to 9.82 and on July 1, 2022 to EUR 10.45. The responsible commission made up of representatives from employers, trade unions and academia makes recommendations. In addition, there are collectively agreed minimum wages in several sectors.
