Abstract

Several indicators show an increasing trend of polarization within the German society. This paper asks whether an increasing part of the German population is not able to afford the necessary standard of living in Germany. Using data from five representative surveys it is shown that the extent of deprivation varies with the amount of unemployment since the mid 90s and indeed has increased since 2000. Verschiedene Indikatoren deuten darauf hin, dass sich die deutsche Gesellschaft seit dem Ende der 90er Jahre stärker polarisiert hat. Die Arbeit fragt, ob sich ein zunehmender Teil der Bevölkerung Dinge des notwendigen Lebensstandards nicht mehr leisten kann. Anhand von fünf repräsentativen Bevölkerungsumfragen wird gezeigt, dass das Ausmaß der Deprivation seit Mitte der 90er Jahre mit der Höhe der Arbeitslosigkeit variiert und seit der Jahrtausendwende erheblich zugenommen hat.
