Abstract

Inwiefern sind das formale Wahlrecht und somit die Möglichkeit der politischen Mitbestimmung in Österreich von der individuellen Position auf dem Arbeitsmarkt abhängig? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wird eine deskriptive Analyse nichtösterreichischer Staatsbürger:innen entlang beruflicher Statuskategorien (Arbeiter:innen und Angestellte) sowie entlang einer mehrstufigen Berufsgruppenhierachisierung gemäß ICSO-Berufsgruppenklassifikation untersucht. Die dafür herangezogenen Daten stammen aus der Europäischen Arbeitskräfteerhebung sowie den statistischen Daten des Hauptverbandes der österreichischen Sozialversicherungsträger. Die Analyse ergibt, dass mehr als ein Drittel der Arbeiter:innen in Österreich von Wahlen ausgeschlossen sind Zusätzlich zeigt sich, dass das formale Wahlrecht entlang der Berufsgruppenhierarchie abnimmt, oder anders formuliert: Je geringer der soziale Status, desto höher ist der Anteil der nicht wahlberechtigten Erwerbstätigen.
