salaries are more than 5k in Germany
With such salaries freelancers are probably only slightly more expensive than employees. They still make more money than employees when all goes well, mostly because they have no social security (taxes) and they can deduct taxes. Freelancers are a huge problem here in the Netherlands by the way. Not all freelancers make a lot of money, but they also don't contribute to the social security taxes, so when they lose their job they have no financial buffer, but they also don't get social benefits. It's a huge risk because ultimately those people have to fall back on the minimum social security payment, which is even below minimum wage. Also, the social security benefits only work when everyone contributes, but with all those freelancers, less and less people are contributing. One of the reasons we have so many freelancers is because our laws make it nearly impossible and very expensive to fire employees. So, many employers just hire someone as a freelancer so they can let them go whenever they want. Not in IT, because IT staff is hard to come by and generally more expensive as a freelancer (which is why many IT staff is going freelance, which only worsens the problem). But postmen, for example, have all been laid off and hired back as low paid freelancer. Same in security and health sector. My cousin couldn't keep a job in security for more than three years (the maximum of temporary contracts an employer can give you before they have to hire you for an indefinite time). All his employers were satisfied, but they didn't want to risk hiring him so they laid him off for six months and then called him back for another three years. The problem with that is that it's almost impossible to get a mortgage if you don't have a contract for an indefinite time. He earned way more than his girlfriend, but when it came to the mortgage his salary was worth loose change. He switched to another sector altogether. And then there's another problem... When you hire a freelancer and they work for you exclusively, you may find that this freelancer now has all the same rights as an employee, but with his freelancer salary. That's why you don't hire freelancers directly, but always through some agency or
