Labor market neutrality

The term labor market neutrality describes the principle in voluntary aid, according to which there is no replacement of full-time workers through the use of voluntary helpers. The term is used in legal texts on federal voluntary service . The Scientific Service of the German Bundestag defines the term “labor market neutrality in the area of civic engagement” in such a way that “the volunteers carry out supporting, additional activities and do not replace full-time (specialist) workers.” Terminations are therefore excluded. On the other hand, it is described as questionable if the involvement of volunteers leads to market distortions, because personnel costs are a decisive factor in pricing. The labor market neutrality of the various voluntary services in Germany is ensured by the responsible agencies, who have to terminate the cooperation with the deployment centers in case of doubt.
