Abstract

In dieser Studie werden auf der Basis einer Weiterentwicklung des ZEW Mikrosimulationsmodells des Abgaben- Steuer- und Transfersystems fiskalische und individuelle Nettoerträge und Renditen von Bildungsinvestitionen für junge Erwachsene bezogen auf das Jahr 2016 untersucht und mit früheren Schätzungen bezogen auf das Jahr 2012 verglichen. Nach den Ergebnissen liegt die fiskalische Bildungsrendite pro Auszubildenden bei einer Ausbildungsdauer von vier Jahren und über das Erwerbsleben hinweg bei 20,6%, im Vergleich zu einer Person ohne Berufsausbildung. Im Falle von Personen mit einem Schul- und Hochschulabschluss, erworben im Alter zwischen 17 und 25 Jahren und betrachtet bis zum Alter von 66 Jahren, beträgt die fiskalische Rendite 10,2%, ebenfalls im Vergleich zu einer Person ohne Berufsausbildung. Während die individuellen Bildungsrenditen aus dem Bruttoeinkommen im Mittel bei über 10% liegen, schrumpfen sie nach Abzug von Steuern und Sozialabgaben sowie aufgrund des Transferentzugs auf etwa 6%. Dies verdeutlicht empirisch das Ausmaß signifikanter Interdependenzen zwischen Bildungs-, Steuer- und Sozialpolitik. Im Vergleich zu 2012 sind die fiskalischen Renditen für die Ausbildung etwas gestiegen und für die Kombination Schule/Studium etwas gefallen.
