Abstract

Zusammenfassung Dass Ostdeutschland bei der Verringerung der Ost-West-Produktivitätslücke nur noch wenig vorankommt, hat nicht nur mit fehlenden Konzernzentralen zu tun. Eine Produktivitätslücke existiert in Betrieben aller Größen. Sie ist im städtischen Raum größer als im ländlichen. Der Fachkräftemangel ist der neue Entwicklungsengpass. Um gegenzusteuern, sollte die Wirtschaftspolitik nicht durch zusätzliche Subventionen, die an die Arbeitsplatzschaffung und -erhaltung gebunden sind, den Produktivitätsdruck abschwächen. Die Produktivitätspotenziale der ostdeutschen Städte gilt es zu heben. Fachkräftesicherung verlangt qualifizierte Zuwanderung mit einer entsprechenden Willkommenskultur in Ostdeutschland.
