Untitled. Facing the Future. As new ways of working and new technologies take hold in EU workplaces, employment relationships are also changing. For example, the internet has made teleworking a viable option for more people, and this in turn has led to new types of semi-independent employment. The changing composition of the workforce is another factor. Some women, for instance, will not necessarily want the standard, full-time workplace-based employment contract that used to be the norm. The move towards more knowledge-based jobs will also tend to impact upon employment relationships. These changes can be positive. But we must ensure that new employment relationships maintain Europe’s model of strong economic and social protection for workers.

Minor employment (also called "mini-jobs" or "400-euro jobs") is according to German social security law an employment relationship with a low absolute level of earnings (slightly salaried employment), or employment relationship of short duration (short-term employment).

"Not only is it effective for them and the right thing to do," she continued, "we were also able to show that there is actually quite a cost-benefit for doing it as well.
