Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs

The government is responsible for creating a strong framework for more jobs, promoting social inclusion and maintaining stable social security systems. These tasks touch upon several areas of politics. The Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs seeks to identify interministerial solutions and liaises with the relevant Länder and municipalities when implementing its measures. Vital to the success of its social policies is close cooperation between BMAS and the Committee on Labour and Social Affairs, the primary parliamentary decision-making body.
