Dr. Rainer Dulger, Employer's President


In his foreword, Employers' President Rainer Dulger explains why Germany can successfully navigate major change when cohesion, responsibility and shared goals guide the way. The newsletter highlights how the growing skills shortage, high levels of sickness absence and inefficient public spending are putting economic strength at risk. It also sheds light on why investment in education, prudent fiscal policy and structural reforms are essential for safeguarding jobs and maintaining a strong welfare state.

The BDA ensures that the social partnership anchored in the Basic Law succeeds and that fair working conditions are guaranteed in our country.

Our goal is to operate in such a way that future generations can also find sufficient employment and create prosperity.
The social market economy underlies our actions and is based on freedom, responsibility, subsidiarity and solidarity.
