Über die Hälfte der globalen Erwerbsbevölkerung ist nur prekär beschäftigt – produktive, formale Beschäftigung fehlt. In dem Beitrag frage ich nach den ökonomischen, sozialen und politischen Gründen. Die Antwort basiert auf einem historisch-materialistischen Ansatz, der die geopolitischen Kontexte und den Stand der Produktivkräfte der frühen und der nachholenden Industrialisierung vergleicht: der lange Schatten der Kolonialzeit, das deutlich größere Produktivitätsgefälle zwischen Industrie und Landwirtschaft, das erheblich schnellere Wachstum der Erwerbsbevölkerung (medizinischer Fortschritt und engeres Migrationsventil) und weltwirtschaftliche Regeln, die ein Aufholen erschweren.
