Public service: “Why this preferential treatment?” – Moritz Schularick questions safety towards dismissal | EUROtoday

The President of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Moritz Schularick, proposes a repeal of safety towards dismissal for the general public sector and excessive earners. “I would also like to question the de facto protection against dismissal in the public service,” Schularick advised the German Press Agency. “Why is there this preferential treatment?”

The economist additionally spoke out in favor of lifting safety towards dismissal for high-earning workers. “Why are we sticking with protection against dismissal for people who earn more than 100,000 euros a year?” mentioned Schularick. “A paternalistic protective idea is being carried forward into the 21st century, which had probably already expired at the end of the 20th century.” This concept is not related.

According to Schularick’s statement, the strict safety towards dismissal on this nation results in German firms outsourcing analysis and improvement to China. “Research and development should actually be in Germany and Europe because we have the smart minds and the others are putting the cars together.”

The background to the event is that Germany is just too costly due to safety towards dismissal. Companies take dangers when prices are manageable, as in China. “If, as a company in Germany, I have to continue to employ a group of 20 developers for years after a failed project, I won’t start the project.”
