Overcome mass unemployment
Distribute jobs justly
programmes to reduce unemployment neither in Germany nor in many other European
countries. It is mostly economic growth and tax release of businesses which are seen as ways
to overcome mass unemployment.
But already now one can clearly see:
The unemployment policy of the last decades which has only been focused on growth has
completely failed. In Europe growth cannot overcome mass unemployment. More and more
jobs are made redundant by more efficient techniques, steadily growing productivity, better
qualifications and growing work intensity. Ever more goods and services can be made by ever
fewer people. Under these conditions economy would have to grow for years by more than
3% annually to create the necessary jobs. Such a growth was possible on the low level after
World War II. Under today’s conditions it is sheer illusion. Furthermore: our endless planet
cannot cope with continuous quantitative economic growth.
