Online Time: Mr. Professor Sell, DieBöckler Foundation calls for a significant increase in minimum wage. He sollevorübergehend more than wage wage, authors write product paper. Does that make sense?
Stefan Sell: How high minimum wage worker is to be seen – and may be from an entrepreneur’s point of view – Hatman Long argued about it before it was introduced. The fact that one has agreed damalsletztlich at 8.50 euros per hour was a PolitischeEntscheidung. In my view, re would be good reasons for an increase. But because legislators only do so within very strict limits and in accordance with precisely defined Regelnerlaubt, demand is currently superfluous.
Online Time: What do you mean, you Erübrigtsich?
If you wanted to be cynical, you could say that we could also save ourselves debate.
Sell: According to law, DerMindestlohn rises just as fast as wage wages, but only on an ongoing basis. This means: The Federal Statistical office determines how Tariflöhneentwickeln, and n possible increase in minimum wage. It is task of Mindestlohnkommission to determine amount definitively. But it may only deviate from requirements of STATISTISCHENBUNDESAMTS in special circumstances – and this will only be possible if employer’s representative is in agreement with Commission.
Online Time: In or words, it would not be possible to make minimum wage rise faster than wage wages?
Sell: To do so, one would have to persuade DieArbeitgeberseite in commission or change law – and for latter would need union’s votes. It’s pretty unlikely that this will happen. If you wanted to be cynical, you could say that we könntenuns also save debate.

Online Time: In purely economic terms, question arises remains open: how high should – and should – minimum wage be?
Shouldn’t hard work be paid better? I think so.
Sell: I think he would have to Höhersein – for several reasons. One is: In many industries, DerMindestlohn is not lower limit of wages that he once thought of, but is used as a reference wage. That means that companies re pay minimum wage, but also no more. This concerns millions of Arbeitnehmerinnenund workers. It could be deduced from this that minimum wage would have to be well over ten euros. The second reason: especially in se industries, people often do hard work. Shouldn’t y be paid better? I think so.
Online Time: The Böckler Foundation Begründetihre demand with high cost of living in largest cities. ‘s The useful?
Sell: That is legitimate, denndahinter is argument that people könnenmüssen to live from ir work. But could companies pay so much? That’s or side of coin.
Online Time: This is aimed at vonArbeitgebern often expressed warning that a too high minimum wage would destroy jobs.
