Synopsis
The transformation of East Germany has changed the economy and society and left deep scars, as the types of social protection offered by the centralized socialism of the previous regime gave way to uncertainties and individualized life chances. While many faced labour market exclusion through unemployment or early retirement, others enjoyed higher incomes and improved employment prospects. As the productive economy, infrastructure and housing are going a rapid and costly modernization to Western standards, the transition to market principles and a risk society, generates winners and losers. This is an investigation of the economic and social processes which East Germany has undergone, highlighting the restructuring, the social impacts and the stresses of adjustment experienced by key social groups whose workplace and social context has been recast almost out of recognition since 1990.
