reason for the wage increase, the good labor market situation in Germany. 2014, gross domestic product grew by 1.6 per cent four times as strong as that of the neighboring country. In the Federal Republic of so many people have a job than ever before. This strengthens the position of workers in collective bargaining, as many companies are looking for almost desperate for staff. France, however, suffers from a record unemployment.


                         
         
         
                                                             

Good prospects for the next five years

The wages in Germany to rise according to a study by the Bertelsmann Foundation and the Prognos AG in the next five years to continue.

What happens to the low wages?

The reason for the wage increases, the Foundation is called the demographic change and the shortage of skilled workers. However, this applies only in the industries with productivity gains. Especially single parents who are often employed in the retail trade, health and social services would benefit from a below-average increase in wages.


                         
         
         
                                                             

The Foundation complains that so the trend towards greater wage inequality in Germany continues sit. “This development is worrying, because growing inequality affects the future prospects of both the people as well as our economy and society as a whole,” according to the release said Aart De Geus, chairman of the Bertelsmann Foundation.

According to calculations by economists to increase the income of employees whose earnings in the upper fifth (54 700 euros a year) is, by an average of 5300 euros.
