D-MTEC Media Update – A call for better pay and credit for social professions

The D-MTEC experts engage with issues that affect society, the economy and business. The D-MTEC Media Update provides links to recent articles, interviews and commentaries. Gudela Grote, Professor at the Chair of Work and Organisational Psychology, observes a vicious circle in social professions. As recognition and compensation is too low, people working in the social sector are encouraged to look for other jobs. If this happens, the burden on those who stay will be even greater.
