Abstract

Die Partizipation an betrieblicher Weiterbildung hat zwar in den letzten Jahren in Deutschland stark zugenommen, dennoch liegt diese im europäischen Vergleich im unteren Mittelfeld. Gleichzeitig steigt die Nachfrage nach qualifizierten Arbeitskräften stetig, während Geringqualifizierte, bzw. ungelernte Kräfte immer geringere Chancen auf eine Beschäftigung haben. Insbesondere kleine und mittlere Betriebe in Deutschland sind trotz hoher Arbeitslosigkeit von Fachkräftemangel betroffen. Investitionen in das Humankapital der Beschäftigten zur Anpassung an die betriebliche Nachfrage nach Qualifikationen sind ein zentrales Instrument, um diesen Schwierigkeiten zu begegnen. In diese Studie wird das Weiterbildungsengagement kleiner und mittlerer Betriebe in Deutschland und Dänemark vor dem Hintergrund der Ausgestaltung der Weiterbildungssysteme der beiden Länder anhand der Daten einer europaweiten Unternehmensbefragung (CVTS II) empirisch untersucht und bewertet. Dänemark ist aus bildungs- und beschäftigungspolitischer Perspektive sehr erfolgreich, was sich auch in einem hohen betrieblichen Weiterbildungsengagement niederschlägt. Somit wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob Weiterbildungsdefizite in kleinen und mittleren Betrieben in Deutschland originär der Betriebsgröße zuzuschreiben sind, oder die institutionellen Arrangements der unterschiedlichen Weiterbildungssysteme die zentrale Rolle spielen.
