Many scholars cite the Digital Age shift as the main precursor involved in the increasing push towards more flexibility within economic models, not only Germany, but on a global level. The reduction in jobs involving manufacturing and the service sector has been one of the primary impetuses towards the removal of social protection methods from within the labor sector. Present day economists turn a kind eye towards the concept of flexibility, citing such successful economies as that of the United States and the U.K as exemplifying the course of action for other free-market nations
