ChatGPT

Agree

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

The CDU might support adjusting the minimum wage according to inflation, as this would help maintain the purchasing power of low-income workers. However, their support for this measure might not be as strong as some other parties, and they may be more cautious about raising the minimum wage too quickly or too high.

Agree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has shown some support for raising the minimum wage in the past, such as when they agreed to introduce a national minimum wage in Germany in 2014. However, their support for raising the minimum wage is not as strong as some other parties, and they may be more cautious about raising it too quickly or too high.

Slightly agree

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

The CDU might be somewhat concerned about the potential for price increases resulting from a higher minimum wage, as they generally support a market-oriented economy and might be cautious about raising the minimum wage too quickly or too high. However, their support for the introduction of a national minimum wage in 2014 suggests that they also recognize the importance of providing a basic level of income for workers.

Slightly agree

No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

The CDU might partially agree with this statement, as they generally support a market-oriented economy and might see some merit in the argument that minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience. However, their support for the introduction of a national minimum wage in 2014 suggests that they also recognize the importance of providing a basic level of income for workers.

Neutral

Neutral

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

There is not enough information to determine the CDU's stance on adjusting minimum wage standards by age group. Their general support for a market-oriented economy and their support for the introduction of a national minimum wage in 2014 suggest that they might be open to considering different approaches to minimum wage policy, but it is unclear whether they would specifically support this measure.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and make it a living wage

The CDU might not strongly support making the minimum wage a living wage, as they generally support a market-oriented economy and might be cautious about raising the minimum wage too quickly or too high. However, their support for the introduction of a national minimum wage in 2014 suggests that they also recognize the importance of providing a basic level of income for workers, so their stance on this issue might be somewhat mixed.

Strongly disagree

No, and eliminate all wage standards

The CDU is not in favor of eliminating all wage standards, as they supported the introduction of a national minimum wage in 2014. Their stance on social and economic issues is generally more moderate, and they would likely not support such a drastic measure.
