TY - GEN A1 - Trampusch, Christine T1 - Sozialpolitik in Post-Hartz Germany T1 - Social politics in Post-Hartz Germany N2 - The article points to the following causes of German social policy reform, as it has taken shape by the so-called ‘Hartz’-Acts: the self-inflicted financial crisis of the welfare state, the return of party leaders as agenda setters, and the weakening of employers associations and trade unions in this policy field. Through a large, informal coalition, the political parties have responded to various internal conflict constellations.

Yet, in his opinion the central question is how to get higher growth rates. Straubhaar’s answer is different from Flassbeck’s: a ‘no’ to more public deficits, more regulations and more state activities; and, a ‘yes’ to more market, more flexibility, more mobility.

Dies zeigen Analysen öffentlich eingesetzter Berufsverzeichnisse ab 1927 sowie Beschäftigungsdaten, Arbeitslosenzahlen und Daten zu offen gemeldeten Stellen der Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Diese wurden für eine Vielzahl von Sportberufen ab 1997 erstmals ausgewertet. Die Bedeutung von Sportberufen in Berufsverzeichnissen ist gewachsen. Neue Berufe fanden bei entsprechender Arbeitsmarktbedeutung Eingang in die Verzeichnisse. Vereinzelt zeigen sich auch neuere Sporttrends. Ferner gab es seit 1999 eine außergewöhnliche Zunahme geringfügig Beschäftigter in allen betrachteten Berufsordnungen mit Sportberufen, teils auch eine Zunahme der sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigten. Fast ausnahmslos waren die Entwicklungen in beiden Beschäftigungsarten in den untersuchten Berufsordnungen weit günstiger als im übergeordneten Berufsumfeld. Für den überwiegenden Teil der Sportberufe ergab sich ein solches Ergebnis auch bei Betrachtung der Arbeitslosenzahlen, die von Anfang 1998 bis Ende 2004 ausgewertet wurden. Demgegenüber wurden der Bundesagentur für Arbeit für fast alle sportbezogenen Berufsklassen 2006 weniger offene ungeförderte Stellen gemeldet als noch 2000. Diese Entwicklung war jedoch nicht ausschließlich für die Berufsklassen im Sport zu beobachten. So sprechen die Ergebnisse zumindest für eine vergleichsweise gute Arbeitsmarktentwicklung in den meisten untersuchten Sportberufen. Die große Zunahme geringfügiger Beschäftigung zeigt aber, dass hier vor allem keine als Haupterwerbsquelle geeigneten Beschäftigungen entstanden sind. Dies reduziert zugleich die Chancen, mit diesen Berufen Arbeitslosigkeit zu reduzieren. N2 - The expansion and increasing pluralism in the field of sports-related occupations and career-paths are both evident in the official labour market statistics. This view is supported by the analysis of publicly accessible career indexes since 1927, as well as employment data of the German Federal Employment Agency. The latter first evaluated occupations associated with sports from 1997 onwards. The public standing or recognition of occupations and career paths in the field of sports has since increased substantially. New occupations found their way into career indexes and there are also a growing number of new sports trends. Furthermore there has been an extraordinary increase in the field of part-time or low-income employment in the field of sport. A more moderate increase in the number of full-time positions has been noticed. This was also supported by the analysis of employment data covering the years from 1998 to 2004. In contrast, the Federal Employment Agency registered fewer open positions during 2006 than in 2000. This development was, however, not only observed in the field of sports associated occupations. Consequently the results suggest a comparatively positive labour market development for sports occupations. Yet, the great increase among the part-time and low-income positions indicates that almost no full-time, high-income positions have been generated. This simultaneously reduces the chances of reducing unemployment through promoting such occupations and careers.

T1 - Konjunkturpolitik kann Strukturreformen nicht ersetzen T1 - Cyclic policy cannot replace structural reforms N2 - The authors agree with Flassbeck’s claim that growth generates employment. However, they do not agree with Flassbeck’s conviction that growth is to be increased by demand management. In their comment, they explain why deficit spending and expansionary monetary policy are inappropriate substitutes for a sound structural policy.

The article compares this approach with neoclassical labour market theories. Neither the working individual nor her "labour world" are sufficient as starting points to explain certain forms of organization. Instead, Graupe focuses on the "context of action". As an example of organisation, which classic economical theory is unable to explain, she presents "internal labour markets". The Japanese philosophical understanding of the world influences thus the specific design of working worlds in Japan.

N2 - The author argues that growth determines employment and not the other way around. He opposes the widespread view among German economists that more employment generated by wage cuts or increased labour market flexibility will stimulate growth. For him, this view relies on theoretical prejudices that have to be rejected in light of some recent, simple evidence. The fact that all cyclical rebounds during the 1990s have been cut short by restrictive monetary policy explains the inability of the German labour market to regain full employment.

T1 - Do short-term effects help in the long run? N2 - Flassbeck’s article proposes to use demand management to enhance growth in Germany in order to increase employment. The author considers this kind of policy to release positive, but merely short-term effects. In the long run, he argues, government measures such as the deregulation of the labour market are necessary strategies for long-term growth.

By law, low-paid jobs shall be introduced. However, even if this creates employment, there will be a future problem: pensions for these people will dramatically drop below the poverty line. The author argues that, in order to avoid such ‘poverty-traps’, an alternative social support system should be considered: a ‘tax transfer system’ with lowered income tax, yet complete reduction of legal exceptions on the one hand, and transfer systems combined with work incentives on the other hand.
