Abstract

Trotz der anhaltend schwierigen Arbeitsmarktlage bleibt die Erwerbsorientierung von Frauen in Ostdeutschland hoch; in Westdeutschland hat sie merklich zugenommen. In Ostdeutschland allerdings sind die Frauen häufiger unfreiwillig teilzeitbeschäftigt. Beim Arbeitszeitumfang zeichnet sich in ganz Deutschland ein Trend zu mehr Teilzeitarbeit ab. Der Wunsch nach Vollzeitbeschäftigung nimmt wieder zu. Dies steht im Zusammenhang mit der Pluralisierung der Lebensformen, die eine eigenständige Existenzsicherung insbesondere der Frauen immer wichtiger werden lässt.
