Abstract: For years the automotive industry was the paradigm for the German industrial system. Key trends in this core sector speeded up in the years following the crisis 2008/2009. In the course of globalization there has been a growing gap between domestic and foreign production and employment. Inward pressure on employment is assumed to have risen because the existing mode of export is increasingly approaching its limits. Since 2014 new cost-cutting programmes have created rising pressure on suppliers. In all parts of the value chain the workforce has been divided into core and periphery. The hiring out of employees and temporary contracts has expanded significantly. Should electro mobility take a hold, new production lines will be on the agenda and will then threaten jobs in existing powertrains. The digitalization of production processes makes it necessary to integrate new actors into the value chain. These trends present specific challenges to work-oriented industrial policy.
