There is a need for action in the areas of labour law, education, health, trade, public procurement and tax policy. Specifically, flexible working hours and locations must be made easier, for example by changing from a daily to a weekly maximum working time and making the mandatory eleven-hour minimum rest period more flexible.
Temporarily reallocated funds from the Digital laos gambling data Pact for Schools should be increased to advance the digital transformation of schools. Digital training should become the standard, and a central platform with low-threshold offers should be set up for this. Telemedicine must be massively expanded and digital doctor's visits should be given equal status to on-site care.
In addition, the federal government should promote the conditions for excellent AI-supported data medicine and the use and analysis of health data. Digital payment transactions and, above all, contactless payments must be possible across the board, which is why the acceptance of at least one electronic payment method should be made mandatory.
The public procurement and awarding system should be adapted and made more flexible so that contracts can be awarded more quickly in the future and also to smaller and younger companies. In addition, additional tax policy instruments should be used and tax incentives for research should be expanded.
