Angleichung des Rentenrechts zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland: Erfolgsstory oder Drama mit unbekanntem Ausgang?

Abstract

Bis heute gibt es im Verarbeitenden Gewerbe deutliche Lohn- und Gehaltsunterschiede zwischen statistisch ähnlichen Arbeitnehmer*innen in Ost- und Westdeutschland. Konkret erreichen ostdeutsche Facharbeiter*innen lediglich rund 78 Prozent des entsprechenden westdeutschen Niveaus. Im Dienstleistungssektor zeigt sich ein bunteres Bild. Neben Wirtschaftszweigen mit weiterhin starken Lohn- und Gehaltsdifferenzen gibt es auch viele Branchen, in denen die Löhne und Gehälter weitgehend angeglichen sind. Die bestehenden Unterschiede lassen sich nicht vollends über wirtschaftsstrukturelle und qualifikatorische Unterschiede erklären. Ein Gutteil des Problems liegt auch in einer zu geringen Durchsetzungskraft der Gewerkschaften in Ostdeutschland. Vor dem Hintergrund der Angleichung des Rentenrechts zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland führen die weiterhin bestehenden Lohn- und Gehaltsdifferenzen aktuell (und ggf. auch zukünftig) zu einer steigenden Ungleichheit bei den Altersrentenanwartschaften.
