Abstract

Die Studie untersucht quantitativ und qualitativ die Inanspruchnahme der COVID-19-Kurzarbeit von März 2020 bis Juni 2022 sowie deren arbeitsmarktpolitische, betriebliche und gesamtwirtschaftliche Wirkungen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Kurzarbeit wesentlich zur Stabilisierung der Beschäftigung beigetragen hat, wiewohl ein Drittel der geförderten Arbeitsplätze auch ohne Kurzarbeit weiterbestanden hätte (Mitnahmeeffekt). Auf individueller Ebene blieben Beschäftigte, deren Arbeitsverhältnis während der COVID-19-Pandemie durch Kurzarbeit aufrechterhalten wurde, auch danach besser im Erwerbsleben integriert als vergleichbare Beschäftigte, die pandemiebedingt arbeitslos wurden. Der qualitative Teil beleuchtet Umsetzungserfahrungen und entwickelt Reformoptionen sowie Strategien für zukünftige Einsätze, mit Augenmerk auf der Entwicklung einer "Blaupause" für mögliche Phasen massenhafter Kurzarbeitsinanspruchnahme.
