Carsten Linnemann, General Secretary of the CDU, supports a proposal to make Minijobs pension-insured amid ongoing debates about their future.

In an ARD interview, Linnemann emphasized that all Minijob holders should contribute to pension plans, aligning with the recommendations of a government commission.

The proposal aims to abolish the special tax and social insurance status of Minijobs, with exceptions only for students, despite pushback from business associations.
