“Germany's economy can do more - to achieve this, the framework conditions need to be improved, some things need to be cut off and things need to be turned upside down,” warns BDA Managing Director Steffen Kampeter in Standpunkt. Prof. Dr. Enzo Weber, IAB, explains in the Comment of the Week why Germany needs international students and how they can help combat the shortage of skilled workers. In the interview of the week with ntv, employer president Dr. Dulger calls for the introduction of a working week and reforms to social security systems.
