Abstract

Dieser Beitrag behandelt die Entwicklung beruflicher Selbständigkeit im Kontext des allgemeinen wirtschaftlichen Wandels und sich verändernder Wettbewerbsstrukturen. Entwicklungsverläufe selbständiger Erwerbsarbeit seit dem Anfang der 1990er Jahre in Deutschland werden in Verbindung mit Änderungen der Berufstätigkeit diskutiert. Empirisch fußt der Beitrag auf eigenen Analysen von Daten des Statistischen Bundesamtes. Als ein Ergebnis wird ein linearer Anstieg der Selbständigkeit in den letzten 20 Jahren deutlich, der allerdings überwiegend von dem Anstieg von Mikro- bzw. Solo-Selbständigkeit getragen wird. Der Entwicklung unterliegt ferner ein allgemeiner wirtschaftlicher Wandel in Richtung der Expansion von Dienstleistungen, der insbesondere für die Situation bei den Freien Berufen diskutiert wird. Der Blick auf Arbeitszeiten und Einkommen offenbart schließlich eine starke soziale und berufliche Heterogenität der Selbständigkeit, für die die Begrifflichkeit der Diversität steht. / The paper discusses the development of self-employment in context of global economic changes and changing structures of competition. Patterns of self-employed activities are analysed since the beginning of the 1990th in Germany. The paper is based on own empirical analyses of data provided by the Federal Statistical Office. One of the findings is the linear increase of self-employment which is carried out predominantly by a rise of micro-firms and solo-self-employment. The development is ultimately linked to the expansion of service sector employment which is discussed specifically for the liberal professions. Finally, regarding working hours and incomes a strong social and occupational heterogeneity of self-employment becomes visible which is marked by the term of diversity.
