Abstract

Ökonomische Anreize in der Familienpolitik spielen eine wichtige Rolle für das Potenzialwachstum, vor allem vor dem Hintergrund des demografischen Wandels und familienpolitischer Maßnahmen, die sich auf die Produktivität und das Erwerbsangebot auswirken können. Hierbei steht die Frage im Mittelpunkt, wie sich familienpolitische Leistungen auf die ökonomische Zielsetzung auswirken, das Erwerbsangebot von Zweitverdienenden - die oftmals Frauen sind - zuerhöhen. In diesem Beitrag werden vor dem Hintergrund dieser Zielsetzung etwaige Fehlanreize im deutschen Steuer-, Abgaben- und Transfersystem sowie verschiedene Reformansätze diskutiert. Darunter fallen steuerliche Leistungen, wie das Ehegattensplitting, Leistungen der Sozialversicherungen, wie die beitragsfreie Mitversicherung von Ehepartnern, monetäre Transfers, wie das Kindergeld und Realtransfers, etwa durch subventionierte Kinderbetreuungsangebote.Dabei identifizieren wir zentrale Bausteine beim Übergang zu einem integrierten und ganzheitlichen System aus Steuern, Transfers und Sozialabgaben, bei dem sich einzelne Maßnahmennicht konterkarieren, sondern gemeinsam in Richtung einer Ausweitung des Erwerbsangebots von Zweitverdienenden wirken.
