A DIFFERENT VISION OF GERMANY

POVERTY, EDUCATION and UNEMPLOYMENT in GERMANY

The prospects of economic development in 2009 have also deteriorated in Germany. In Europe, recessive tendencies are constantly growing. In recent years things appeared to be clearly more positive in Germany. Despite the good economic situation, however, poverty has been evident.

In her lecture, Prof. Dr. Michaela Gross-Letzelter will focus on those Germans not profiting from economic developments. She will discuss social inequality in Germany, and will consider those Germans who belong to the poor. She will present statistics on poverty and the interconnection of poverty, education and unemployment. Besides this, Prof. Dr. Gross-Letzelter will also review socioeconomic background and educational chances. To demonstrate how Germany is positioned, she will partly draw comparisons with Europe.

The talk will be in English, questions can be in English or German.
