Indirekte Beschäftigungseffekte branchenspezifischer Mindestlöhne

Abstract

Empirische Studien finden oft keine negativen Beschäftigungseffekte branchenbezogener Mindestlöhne. Ulrich van Suntum, Universität Münster, zeigt jedoch, dass eine Betrachtung der Beschäftigungsentwicklung in der jeweiligen Mindestlohnbranche zu kurz greift. So kommt es bei unelastischer Nachfrage zwangsläufig zu Kaufkraftentzugseffekten und entsprechenden Beschäftigungseinbußen in anderen Sektoren, die selbst von dem Mindestlohn gar nicht betroffen sind.
