Labor market in East Germany in 1997: Downturn in employment figures continues

Hans-Ulrich Brautzsch
Wirtschaft im Wandel, No. 3, 1997
Abstract
Im Beitrag wird die aktuelle Situation auf dem Arbeitsmarkt Ostdeutschlands untersucht. Im Zuge des schwachen Produktionswachstums nimmt die Beschäftigung auf dem ersten Ar-beitsmarkt deutlich ab. Der Rückgang der Arbeitsnachfrage wird von dem noch stärkeren Rückgang der Erwerbsneigung überlagert, so dass per saldo auch die Unterbeschäftigung ab-nimmt. Trotz der schrittweisen Rückführung der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik werden staatliche Beschäftigungsprogramme auch 1997 eine wichtige Rolle auf dem ostdeutschen Arbeitsmarkt spielen.
