Chancen und Risiken für die nationalen Rentensysteme durch internationale Arbeitsmobilität

Abstract

In zahlreichen Diskussionen wird immer wieder Zuwanderung als ein mögliches Instrument genannt, um die demographischen Probleme der umlagefinanzierten Rentensysteme in Europa zu lindern. Diese eingeschränkte Betrachtungsweise wird aber dem sehr viel weiterreichenden Phänomen der internationalen Arbeitsmobilität und ihrer Wirkungen auf die Rentensysteme nicht gerecht. In diesem Beitrag wird zunächst dargestellt, wie die wohlfahrtsteigernde Wirkung von Zuwanderung auf aggregierter Ebene zustande kommt und ob dies ausreicht, um auch politische Mehrheiten für Zuwanderung organisieren zu können. Zudem wird untersucht, ob nicht Reformen der Rentensysteme im nationalen Rahmen sehr viel entscheidender als Zuwanderungsfragen sind, nicht zuletzt da eine Abwanderung junger Menschen aus unattraktiver werdenden Sozialsystemen in Zukunft nicht mehr ausgeschlossen werden kann.
