Abstract

Auf den Punkt: Die Wirkungen eines Mindestlohnes sind in theoretischen Modellen unbestimmt. Bei zu hoher Arbeitgebermacht erhöht ein Mindestlohn sogar die Beschäftigung. Die neuere Forschung zu Mindestlöhnen kommt überwiegend zu dem Ergebnis, dass Mindestlöhne der Beschäftigung nicht schaden. Ältere Studien, die eher negative Wirkungen festgestellt haben, sind durch Schätzung mit zuverlässigeren Kontrollgruppen entkräftet worden. Die These der Mehrheit des Sachverständigenrates, dass die Wirkungen eines Mindestlohns tendenziell negativ sind, gibt den Stand der Forschung nicht angemessen wieder. In einem innovativen Umfeld mit guter Ausbildung und effizienter Arbeitsorganisation sind höhere Mindestlöhne möglich als in einem innovationschwachen Umfeld. In Verbindung mit einer Stärkung innovativer Geschäftsmodelle und Investitionen in Aus- und Weiterbildung kann die Einführung eines gesetzlichen Mindestlohnes zum Erfolgsmodell werden.
