Zu alt für einen Wechsel? Zum Zusammenhang von Alter, Lohndifferentialen und betrieblicher Mobilität

Abstract

Die absehbare Alterung der Erwerbstätigen in Deutschland wird Konsequenzen für die Arbeitsmarktmobilität haben, ist doch bekannt, dass die Wechselbereitschaft mit zunehmendem Alter sinkt. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert auf Basis der IAB-Beschäftigtenstichprobe (IABS) die Wirkung des Alters auf die betriebliche Mobilität. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Frage, wie sich die Einkommensdifferentiale eines betrieblichen Wechsels im Laufe des Erwerbslebens verändern. Es zeigt sich, dass Ältere im Falle eines Wechsels weniger stark als junge Beschäftigte von Einkommensgewinnen profitieren. Die Analyse macht jedoch ebenfalls deutlich, dass diese Einkommenskomponente den Mobilitätsvorsprung der Jüngeren nicht vollständig erklären kann.
