Abstract

In den vergangenen Jahren hat die Mindestlohnpolitik in Europa einen tiefgreifenden Wandel erlebt: Die Mindestlöhne wurden deutlich angehoben und auf das Ziel ausgerichtet, einen angemessenen Lebensstandard zu sichern. Inzwischen zeichnet sich eine Konsolidierung des neuen Kurses ab: Viele EU-Staaten orientieren sich bei der Bemessung der Mindestlohnhöhe mittlerweile an Referenzwerten, wie sie in der Europäischen Mindestlohnrichtline empfohlen werden, die unlängst vom Europäischen Gerichtshof für grundsätzlich europarechtskonform erklärt wurde. In Deutschland hat die Mindestlohnkommission den Mindestlohn deutlich erhöht und verfolgt nun das Ziel, 60% des Medianlohns zu erreichen. Da eine gesetzliche Verankerung des Referenzwerts noch aussteht, steht der Fortschritt hierzulande allerdings auf tönernen Füßen.
