Abstract

Die Hartz-Gesetze I-IV zielen insbesondere auf die Verkürzung der Dauer der Arbeitslosigkeit durch vermehrte Abgänge aus Arbeitslosigkeit ab. Bereits wenige Monate nach Einführung der Hartz-Instrumente wurde über Erfolge und Misserfolge in der Politik und Öffentlichkeit berichtet - in der Regel auf der Basis absoluter und relativer Zahlen. In diesem Beitrag werden exemplarisch am Beispiel der Mini- und Midijobs sowie des Arbeitslosengeldes II die Probleme der Evaluation und Lösungsansätze auf der Mikro- und Makroebene verdeutlicht. Es zeigt sich, dass eine Erfolgsbeurteilung immer den Bezug zu einer Kontrollgruppe benötigt - ansonsten ist keine Aussage zum Erfolg einer Maßnahme möglich. Da diese dem internationalen Standard entsprechende Evaluationskultur in Deutschland unterentwickelt ist, wird eine Gesetzesinitiative formuliert, die u.a. einen jährlichen Evaluationsbericht an das Parlament beinhaltet.
