Eine Abschaffung von Minijobs würde die Nettoeinkommen der Betroffenen reduzieren
Aktuell wird diskutiert, Minijobs schrittweise in reguläre sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigungsverhältnisse zu überführen. Nach Berechnungen des Leibniz-Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung Halle (IWH) würde dies bei etwa vier Millionen betroffenen Minijobbern Zusatzeinnahmen der Sozialversicherungen in Höhe von 4,5 Milliarden Euro im Jahr 2026 zulasten der Nettoeinkommen der Betroffenen bedeuten.
