Germany's "kurzarbeit" and government-business cooperation to tackle cyclical swings in the economy
07/29/2010
About half a million jobs were saved by one estimate through the German government sharing the costs of labor retention with industry during the last downturn. The program is known as "kurzarbeit" in Germany and is accepted by the German public, workers and business as a better way to handle the cyclical swings in the economy. The lack of a similiar program in the U.S. means a larger loss of jobs in the U.S., which is being painfully felt in 2011-2012. U.S. programs focussed on a stimulus measure and government spending, not on a program of joint cooperation between industry and government such as "kurzarbeit." There is no history of such cooperation in the U.S. and the government is seen more in the sense of intervention than cooperation with industry.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
