Abstract

Im Zuge der Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt gewinnt das lebenslange Lernen bzw. die Weiterbildung aufgrund veränderter Anforderungen an berufliche Tätigkeiten an Bedeutung. Der Beitrag geht auf Basis des deutschen Mikrozensus der Frage nach, inwieweit die individuellen Chancen zur Teilnahme an Weiterbildung - über persönliche Merkmale wie Alter, Geschlecht und Qualifikation hinaus - zwischen den deutschen Bundesländern variieren. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Vergleich zwischen Nordrhein-Westfalen (NRW) und den anderen Bundesländern. Festgestellt wird, dass Einwohner von NRW mit geringerer Wahrscheinlichkeit an Weiterbildung teilnehmen als Personen mit vergleichbaren individuellen Voraussetzungen in den anderen Bundesländern. Innerhalb der Erwerbsbevölkerung von Baden-Württemberg und Bayern ist die Weiterbildungswahrscheinlichkeit dagegen höher. Offenbar sind in NRW Branchenschwerpunkte und Berufsstrukturen mit verhältnismäßig geringer Weiterbildungsteilnahme stärker vertreten, so dass qualifikationsspezifische Weiterbildungspotenziale nicht ausgeschöpft werden. Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Weiterbildungsaktivität in NRW können als Bestandteil der Wirtschaftspolitik darauf abzielen, betriebliche Aktivitätsschwerpunkte stärker zu etablieren, in denen das lebenslange Lernen auf verschiedenen Qualifikationsniveaus regelmäßig zum beruflichen Alltag gehört.
