Produktivität und Lohnstückkosten im internationalen Vergleich

  • Schröder, Christoph

Abstract

Das deutsche Verarbeitende Gewerbe hat verglichen mit zwölf bedeutenden Industrieländern das höchste Lohnstückkostenniveau zu verkraften. Wichtige Konkurrenzländer der Bundesrepublik wie die USA, Japan, Frankreich, Italien und die Niederlande haben einen Stückkostenvorteil von bis zu 27 Prozent. Diese ungünstige Position ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass die deutsche Industrie bei hoher Arbeitskostenbelastung ein nur durchschnittliches Produktivitätsniveau aufweist. Eine deutliche Besserung der deutschen Kostenposition ist nicht in Sicht. Zwar sind hier zu Lande die Lohnstückkosten seit 1996 jahresdurchschnittlich nur um 0,4 Prozent gestiegen, während im Zeitraum 1990 bis 1996 die Zuwachsrate mit 3,1 Prozent noch sehr hoch war. Im Ausland sind die Lohnstückkosten in heimischer Währung gerechnet jedoch bereits seit mehr als zehn Jahren annähernd stabil.
