Abstract

Zusammenfassung Die Gebäudereinigungsbranche ist mit einem hohen Anteil der Personalkosten und einer großen Vergleichbarkeit und Standardisierung der angebotenen Dienstleistungen äußerst wettbewerbsintensiv. Die statistischen Voraussetzungen für eine Evaluation der Mindestlohnregelungen waren nicht ideal, was vor allem mit einem sehr hohen Anteil von Teilzeitbeschäftigung und Minijobs zusammenhängt. Die Evaluation basiert auf einer repräsentativen Unternehmensbefragung, einer Betriebsrätebefragung, Fallstudien und mikroökonometrischen Berechnungen auf der Basis der SIAB. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass der untere Mindestlohn für die Unterhaltsreinigung die „going rate“ in der Branche ist, die ansonsten vermutlich deutlich absinken würde. Der Arbeitnehmerschutz hat sich durch eine stärkere Einhaltung der Mindestlöhne infolge der effektiven Kontrollen des Zolls, die auch als wichtiger Wettbewerbsfaktor angesehen werden, verbessert. Die Beschäftigung und das Arbeitsvolumen sind zwischen 2000 und 2008 gestiegen und die Gebäudereinigungsbranche hat ihren Marktanteil auf Kosten der Innenreinigung in anderen Branchen ausbauen können. Die mikroökonometrischen Schätzungen zu den Beschäftigungswirkungen zeigen in der Summe keine negativen Effekte und deuten darauf hin, dass die Aufnahme der Branche in das Arbeitnehmer-Entsendegesetz (AEntG) vor allem zu Verschiebungen von geringfügiger hin zu sozialversicherungspflichtiger Beschäftigung geführt hat.
