Abstract

In der wissenschaftlichen ebenso wie der öffentlichen Diskussion spielt die Frage, wie sich der Arbeitsmarkt im Zuge zunehmender Flexibilisierungsanforderungen an Betriebe und Arbeitnehmer gewandelt haben, eine zentrale Rolle. Dabei wird unter anderem auch angenommen, dass in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten die Beschäftigungssicherheit von Arbeitnehmern kontinuierlich abgenommen habe. Unter dem Eindruck von Massenentlassungen und steigenden Arbeitslosenquoten wird vermutet, dass Arbeitsmarktmobilität zunehmend unfreiwillig insbesondere in Form arbeitgeberseitiger Entlassungen auftritt und freiwillige Mobilitätsprozesse demnach an Bedeutung verlören. Auf Basis der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) untersucht der Beitrag, inwiefern zwischen 1985 und 2001 arbeitgeberseitige Entlassungen gegenüber arbeitnehmerseitigen Kündigungen zugenommen haben. Die ausführlichen deskriptiven und multivariaten Analysen zeigen dabei, dass das Ausmaß unfreiwilliger Entlassungen im Zeitverlauf insbesondere durch konjunkturelle Einflüsse bestimmt gewesen ist. Jenseits dieser konjunkturellen Schwankungen lässt sich allerdings kein Bedeutungszuwachs arbeitgeberseitiger Entlassungen feststellen.
