Abstract

"Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert die Rückwanderung von sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigten aus Westdeutschland nach Thüringen. Die Datengrundlage bildet die Beschäftigten-Historik des IAB, mit der unter anderem die Wohnortverlagerungen der Beschäftigten ermittelt werden können. Zwischen 2000 und 2012 wanderten 56.088 Beschäftigte in die alten Bundesländer ab, davon die meisten nach Bayern, Baden-Württemberg und Hessen. Zwischen 2001 und 2012 kehrten 8.940 Personen vornehmlich aus diesen drei Bundesländern wieder nach Thüringen zurück. Die meisten von ihnen zogen dabei wieder direkt in ihren Herkunftskreis. Mit einer Rückkehrquote von 15,9 Prozent steht Thüringen damit an der Spitze der ostdeutschen Flächenländer. In Bezug auf eine mögliche Stabilisierung des Arbeitskräfteangebots in Thüringen durch Rückwanderung ist eine eher ernüchternde Bilanz zu ziehen. Der heimische Arbeitsmarkt profitiert nur bedingt von Rückwanderung. Einerseits findet zu einem nicht unerheblichen Teil überhaupt keine Verlagerung des Arbeitsorts statt. Andererseits sind bei der Betrachtung der Migranten nach der Qualifikation Anzeichen für einen 'Brain Drain' erkennbar. Aktivitäten zum Zurückholen von abgewanderten Beschäftigten können daher nur Teil einer Gesamtstrategie zur Fachkräftesicherung sein." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)
