7. Conclusion

Value of data work (discussion in Germany)

Should enrich CV

Persistent identifiers of data sets

Funding Challenges

Data development

Transnational activities

Research and Access

Stepping stone strategy: push the „not possible“ slightly in the direction of research

Benefit for data provider: some kind of unterstandable results, feedback

Discussion on possible harm of a single hypothetical breach vs. increase of overallknowledge due to broader access

The Unemployment Insurance System in Germany

Until 1984:

Unemployment benefits (UB, „Arbeitslosengeld“):

Potential duration of UB: up to 12 months

Duration depends on the number of months worked in the base periodprior to unemployment (least 12 months in the previous 3 years)

68% of the last net wage, not means tested

After UB, unemployment assistance (UA, Arbeitslosenhilfe)

Unlimited duration

58% of the last net wage, other sources of income are substracted

Means tested, reviewed once a year

In case supplemented with social assistance (social welfare,“Sozialhilfe”)

51


1984 to 1987

1984: replacement rates were lowered for individuals without children(UB: 68 – 63%, UA: 58 – 53%)

Expansion of UB durations for workers with higher experience levels age dependency

1988 to 1997

Fairly stable, only slight decrease in the replacement rate in 1994

1997 to 2004

potential UB durations were lowered for older individuals

Age requirements for higher UB durations increased by 3 years

Stricter sanction rules were introduced

52


since 2005

Unemployment benefits (UB, “Arbeitslosengeld”) for the first 6 to 12months.

Duration depends on age and the number of months worked in a baseperiod prior to unemployment .

67 % of income prior to unemployment (60 % without children).
