About this person
During his time as minister, he helped improve war victims' pensions and helped pass the Labour Promotion Act in 1969, which was meant to upskill workers, push a more active labour market policy, and create the Federal Institute of Labour. It was replaced in 1997 with the Third Book of the Social Code upon the implementation of the Employment Promotion Reform Act.
