Abstract

Der drastische Einbruch der Wirtschaftsleistung im Frühjahr 2020 hat den Arbeitsmarkt stark unter Druck gesetzt. Als unmittelbare Reaktion auf die Krise setzten zahlreiche Länder auf Kurzarbeitsmodelle, um durch eine Stabilisierung der Beschäftigung die sozialen Kosten der Krise zu begrenzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Vor- und Nachteile sowie die Ausgestaltung dieses arbeitsmarktpolitischen Instruments und stellt die österreichische Corona-Kurzarbeit Modellen in ausgewählten europäischen Ländern gegenüber. Wie sich zeigt, sind die Kurzarbeitsregelungen in Österreich vergleichsweise großzügig. Zudem wird die Kurzarbeit hierzulande relativ breit in Anspruch genommen. Im Zuge einer absehbaren wirtschaftlichen Erholung bestehen Möglichkeiten zur Anpassung der Kurzarbeitsinstrumente. Dazu können Phasenmodelle ebenso genutzt werden wie eine Differenzierung der Kurzarbeit nach Art und Ausmaß der Krisenbetroffenheit.
