"Hartz 4" under scrutiny

The aim of this paper is to conduct an analysis based on scientific facts and data to examine the extent to which professional social work should take a position on Hartz IV and Agenda 2010. The basis for this is the question: To what extent does Hartz IV cause poverty? A 2014 OECD report states that, despite declining unemployment figures thanks to Agenda 2010, inequality and relative poverty have increased.
