Question
01

In your opinion, which social issues receive too little attention?

Too many! One example: the situation of young adults is not being taken seriously enough. Many are (rightly!) critical about the future, too many are without education or work and susceptible to anti-democratic sentiments. Social policy must help to improve this crucial phase of life.

Question
02

Which social policy term urgently needs to be revised or abolished?

The saying “Social is whatever creates jobs” should be consigned to the dustbin of history. Gainful employment is not social per se. It must meet certain standards, including living wages and appropriate working conditions.

Question
03

If you had a superhero name, what would it be?

I already have one ;)
