FoSS: What pay for employees in the health and care sector is considered appropriate by the population?
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Olaf Struck (University of Bamberg)
Moderation: Prof. Dr. Felix Welti (University of Kassel)
The remuneration of skilled and unskilled workers in the health and care sector is a recurring topic of discussion. For example, the minimum wage is to be adjusted in 2024. Wages are an important component of working conditions and can serve to make the profession more attractive. This will be important in the foreseeable future, as demographic change is expected to lead to both a decline in the potential workforce and an increase in social demand for social services for the elderly and sick. This leads us to expect increasing labor shortages, particularly in the health and care sector.
The Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and the University of Bamberg are therefore conducting a study entitled "Employment and working conditions in the healthcare sector" to investigate what income people in the working population consider realistic and appropriate for skilled and unskilled workers in the care sector.
