Do we have to work more for prosperity? Experts in live discourse!
The discussion will take place on May 25, 2025 at 9:45 p.m. on the “Caren Miosga” program, under the title: “Do we have to work more for our prosperity, Mr. Linnemann?” Reports the Braunschweiger Zeitung. The impetus for this debate comes at a time when the German economy is showing stagnating developments and is perceived as an unattractive location. This is being questioned as the “economists” call for far-reaching reforms to ensure future competitiveness.
In the next round, Chancellor Friedrich Merz and CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann will confront viewers with questions about society's willingness to achieve more. The central topics will be the comfort of Germans and the current government framework for overtime. These aspects are to be made more attractive and productive through new incentives from the black-red government.
The demographic challenge
Another important point in the discussion is demographic change, which will influence future working hours and models. The guests on the show are relevant voices from politics and business: Carsten Linnemann, Christiane Benner, the first chairwoman of IG Metall, and Moritz Schularick, economist and president of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. These experts will provide a broad overview of the necessary reform discussion.
The show “Caren Miosga” itself is a joint production by ARD and is produced by MIO media on behalf of NDR. The editorial team is headed by Christian Sieh (NDR), with the focus being on relevant questions about Germany's future economic direction.
