Summary/Abstract: The pressure caused by the refugee crisis in Germany has not skipped past the minimum wage. Abolition of the government’s flagship social project, however, is unlikely; rather to be expected are exceptions for asylum seekers and additional vocational activation programs. German ideas in this area have a chance to become benchmarks for EU members struggling with similar issues, as well as starting points for “enhanced cooperation” on policies of integration of refugees.
