雙語環球：德國失業者須做“1歐元”工作
Jobless workers in Germany are now required to accept jobs paying just 1 euro an hour. Those include jobs such as sweeping the streets, planting trees and removing graffiti and so on。
The German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reported Tuesday that German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle issued a proposal that calls for all beneficiaries of unemployment compensation to accept jobs offered by the Federal Labor Agency in Germany, or their unemployment compensation would be reduced。
After a blizzard hit Germany a few weeks ago, Westerwelle also mobilized unemployment recipients to shovel snow。
Besides, Hannelore Kraft, a politician with the German Social Democratic Party, advanced a suggestion to send jobless people to read books or sweep streets for senior tenants at nursing homes. These jobs are actually the "1 euro" jobs provided by the German government for those who have been out of work for a long time and offer only 1 euro per hour or about 200 euros a month。
The jobs mainly include some public service activities and urban construction work, and workers are required to sit through three to four weeks of training in advance。
According to the report, at first the "1 euro" job was voluntary, but many lazy unemployed workers were unwilling to take those jobs. So the number of beneficiaries of unemployment compensation gradually increased to 6.7 million, creating a heavy burden on the German fiscal system。
Therefore, the German government is making it compulsory for beneficiaries of unemployment compensation, especially younger people, to accept the "1 euro" jobs。
Refusing to do so would cost them unemployment compensation。
掃大街，種樹，清洗墻上涂鴉……這就是德國失業者的新工作。在德國各界的壓力下，德國失業者被要求做“1歐元”工作。
據德國《南德意志報》16日報道，德國外長韋斯特韋勒近日建議，失業金領取者必須接受勞動局分配的工作，否則將減少其失業金。幾周前暴風雪席卷德國時，他曾建議那些失業救濟金領取者去鏟雪。
而社民黨政治家克拉夫特女士也提出，讓常年失業者為養老院的老年人朗讀書籍或去掃大街。這些工作其實就是德國政府專門為長期失業人員提供的“1歐元”工作，即每小時工資只有1歐元，一個月也只有200歐元。工作內容主要是公益性活動或為城市建設出力，工作前需要進行三四周的培訓。
報道稱，“1歐元”工作原本是自愿行為，但許多懶惰的失業者不愿參與這些工作。德國靠領取失業救濟金生活的人越來越多，已達670萬，這給德國財政帶來很大負擔。為此，德國政府打算強制所有領取失業救濟金的人特別是年輕的失業者承擔“1歐元” 工作，否則將無法拿到失業金。
