Abstract

Die Untersuchung anhand der Gründungsstatistiken von Wirtschaftskammer, Hauptverband der österreichischen Sozialversicherungsträger und der Statistik der Selbständigen zeigt, dass sich die Gründungs- und Schließungsdynamik in Österreich langfristig verstärkt hat. In den letzten zehn Jahren boten neu entstandene Beschäftigerbetriebe im Durchschnitt jährlich 3,5% der Beschäftigten einen Arbeitsplatz. Gründungen und Schließungen sind im mehrjährigen Durchschnitt für jeweils über 50% der Schaffung bzw. des Verlusts von Arbeitsplätzen bestimmend. Insgesamt zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die Gründungs- und Schließungsdynamik in Österreich durchaus jener anderer europäischer Länder entspricht.
