First, the Institute for Employment Research IAB presented a document with an assessment. According to the IAB-Arbeitsmarktspiegel, several important developments took place at the labour market since the introduction. While overall employment continued to show a positive trend, the number of exclusively marginal part-time employees dropped markedly at the turn of the year. This effect is strongest in industries and regions with a low average wage level. Persons changing into direct forms of employment can explain a little more than half of the decrease. The second evaluation comes from the Hans Boeckler Foundation (HBS). The authors conclude that million workers profited by the introduction; especially in the low-wages branches the workers’ income has increased substantially. The introduction has had no negative consequences on the labour market; on the contrary, the Foundation concludes that the introduction of the €8.5 per hour minimum rate has actually been instrumental in kick starting employment.      \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.iab.de\u002Fen\u002Fpublikationen\u002Fforschungsbericht\u002Fpublikationendetails-forschungsbericht.aspx\u002FPublikation\u002Fk160113302\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.iab.de\u002Fen\u002Fpublikationen\u002Fforschungsbericht ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.boeckler.de\u002Fpdf\u002Fv_2016_01_28_invitation.pdf\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.boeckler.de\u002Fpdf … \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">The IAB-report (in German): \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fdoku.iab.de\u002Fforschungsbericht\u002F2016\u002Ffb0116.pdf\">http:\u002F\u002Fdoku.iab.de\u002Fforschungsbericht\u002F2016 … \u003C\u002Fa>  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The HBS-report (in German): \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.boeckler.de\u002Fpdf\u002Fp_wsi_report_28_2016.pdf\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.boeckler.de\u002Fpdf\u002Fp_wsi_report_28 … \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
