Abstract

Mit der zunehmenden Bedeutung von Solo-Selbstständigkeit als Erwerbsform ist auch die Problematik ihrer unzureichenden sozialpolitischen Integration ins öffentliche Bewusstsein gerückt. Eine zentrale Herausforderung liegt darin, dass die Interessenvertretung für Solo-Selbstständige vorwiegend innerhalb beruflich strukturierter Verbändesysteme institutionalisiert ist. Auf der Grundlage von 30 Experteninterviews erfolgt in diesem Beitrag eine explorative Analyse dieser Vertretungssituation am Beispiel der Branchen Handwerk, Architektur, Journalismus und IT-Berufe. Der Vergleich der Verbändesysteme auf Grundlage theoretischer Differenzierungen von Schmitter und Streeck (1999) zeigt unterschiedliche Formen der Integration der Verbände und der Sichtbarkeit von Solo-Selbstständigen und ihrer Interessenlagen. Inwieweit Solo-Selbstständigkeit als spezifische Erwerbsform anerkannt wird, hängt von historisch entstandenen und in die jeweiligen Berufsbilder integrierten Normalvorstellungen von selbstständigem Erwerb ab. Demgegenüber fehlen kollektive erwerbspolitische Vorstellungen als Grundlage für die weitergehende Kooperation von Verbänden und für die Anpassung arbeits- und sozialpolitischer Institutionen.
