Women and low wage minijobs in Germany
08/14/2010
Germany's Ministry for Family Affairs recently completed a study showing minijobs for women in retail, healthcare and other fields puts women in deadend jobs and a situation of "lifelong economic powerlessness and dependence for women." The numbers for minijobs paying low wages in parttime work show large increases in 1999-2010, the same period when unemployment declined in Germany to 6.9% by 2013.

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.
