Abstract

Zusammenfassung Mit der Einführung eines Mindestlohns in der Pflegebranche im August 2010 wurde erstmals in einem Gesundheitssektor ein Mindestlohn eingeführt. Zudem ist die Pflegebranche im Unterschied zu anderen Branchen mit Mindestlöhnen in den letzten Jahren kontinuierlich gewachsen. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass insbesondere ostdeutsche Einrichtungen vom Mindestlohn betroffen waren, während in den meisten westdeutschen Einrichtungen die Löhne bereits vor Einführung deutlich höher waren. Daher können für Ostdeutschland Lohneffekte gefunden werden, während keine Auswirkungen auf die Beschäftigung identifiziert werden können.
