Armin Willingmann, the lead candidate for the Saxony-Anhalt SPD, has endorsed a plan to incorporate the majority of mini-jobs into Germany’s social insurance system. The proposal would extend pension and health coverage to millions of low-wage workers currently excluded from full benefits.
However, Willingmann drew a clear line: he opposes ending student mini-jobs, arguing they provide essential flexibility for students. His stance positions the SPD as advocating for broader social security while protecting young workers.
The reform is part of a broader debate on labor market fairness in Germany, with Willingmann also calling for an active industrial policy to secure jobs. He criticized the CDU’s budget plans as insufficient, urging more investment in infrastructure and energy transition.
