摘要

In political debates, digitalization is often seen as a panacea for reducing bureaucracy. However, the hope for ‘automatic relief’ is misleading, as digitalization typically comes with additional bureaucratic costs. To ensure that digitalization contributes effectively and in a sustainable manner to reducing administrative burdens, institutional reforms are a necessary precondition, alongside measures to support the development of digital skills. In nine theses, this article highlights key aspects to be considered in the course of these reforms.
