Abstract

Die Bruttostundenlöhne von Vollzeitbeschäftigten sind im Durchschnitt höher als jene für Arbeitnehmer mit reduzierter Stundenzahl. Darüber hinaus ist die Streuung der Löhne bei Teilzeitbeschäftigten weitaus größer als bei Vollzeitbeschäftigten. Das bedeutet, dass das Risiko, deutlich weniger als den durchschnittlichen Stundenlohn zu verdienen, für Teilzeitbeschäftigte größer ist. Ziel dieser Analyse ist es unter anderem, die Lohnunterschiede zwischen voll- und teilzeitbeschäftigten Frauen und Männern in Ost- und Westdeutschland empirisch zu messen und zu analysieren, in wie weit sie auf beobachtbare Qualifikationsunterschiede und weitere lohnrelevante Einflussfaktoren zurückgeführt werden können. Die empirische Analyse basiert auf Daten der 24. Welle des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels aus dem Jahr 2007. Die Ergebnisse der multivariaten Analyse deuten darauf hin, dass männliche Teilzeitbeschäftigte in Westdeutschland - unabhängig von der Definition von Teilzeitbeschäftigung - signifikante Lohnabschläge gegenüber ihren vollzeitbeschäftigten Kollegen hinnehmen müssen. Im Gegensatz dazu wird bei westdeutschen Frauen eine Abweichung vom Normalarbeitsverhältnis weniger finanziell bestraft. Die Lohnabschläge betreffen insbesondere Beschäftigungsverhältnisse mit 10 bis 15 Stunden pro Woche, die häufig geringfügige Beschäftigungsverhältnisse sind. Weiterhin zeigt sich, dass die Lohnabschläge für Teilzeitbeschäftigte mit der Dauer der Betriebszugehörigkeit und teilweise auch mit dem Qualifikationsniveau variieren. Bei den ostdeutschen Frauen können keine signifikanten Lohnunterschiede festgestellt werden.
