In Germany, internships (Praktika) play an important role in helping young people understand the world of work.
In practice, however, Praktika have become short, poorly structured and with little learning value.
This problem is especially visible among refugee youth, including many Ukrainians.

You can’t feed a family on 16 hours a week. Yet, this is the brutal reality for commerce workers – especially women – trapped in “involuntary part-time” work.
This insecurity fuels the gender pay gap and pension poverty.
We demand sustainable jobs and real worker power over hours and schedules.
