Minijobs NRW: Employer and Employee Survey. Employee, 2016

Marginal employment, so-called minijobs, have become an important part of dependent employment in Germany. In 2016, the RWI conducted a survey of both employees in marginal employment and employers providing marginal employment in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The survey data provides information on the composition of marginally employed persons, reasons of employers for choosing marginal employment, and the perception of employees' rights such as the statutory minimum wage, sick pay and maternity leave regulations. This dataset refers to the employee survey. Data on employers are also available.
