Too few workers in Germany without immigration

Germany will be dependent on immigration in the coming decades. This is the only way to meet the demand for workers and secure prosperity. This is the conclusion of a study by the Bertelsmann Foundation. Without immigration, the number of workers in Germany will fall by 10 percent by 2040. It will fall from the current 46.4 million to 41.9 million and to 35.1 million by 2060, according to the study. Around 288,000 workers from all over the world would be needed each year to halt the decline. Labor market facing a major challenge Demographic change, i.e. an ageing society,… Read More

Foreign skilled workers experience bureaucracy and discrimination

  In general, integration into the German labour market has been successful for skilled workers from so-called third countries, i.e. countries outside the EU. However, they still face major bureaucratic obstacles, and the immigrant workers also complain of experiencing discrimination. These are the findings of a recent survey conducted by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), the research institute of the Federal Employment Agency. Due to demographic change, labour migration from non-EU countries is becoming increasingly important. The Skilled Workers Immigration Act (FEG), which came into force in 2020, aimed to facilitate the immigration of workers from third countries. In… Read More

Care sector would not work without foreign workers

  One sixth of the 1.7 million employees in the care sector who are subject to social insurance contributions come from abroad. These people help to ensure that the labor shortage in the care sector is not even greater and that care operations can be maintained. This is shown by a recent study by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) in Nuremberg. According to the study, total employment in the care professions rose by 26% between 2013 and 2023. Since 2022, however, employment growth in the care sector has been driven exclusively by foreign employees, while the number of German… Read More

The statement is true, but it is only half the truth. Although „Amal“ works according to the same criteria as German media, the platform is something very special: an online media project in which refugee journalists from five countries inform their compatriots and many others about Germany with reports in Arabic, Dari/Farsi and Ukrainian. „Amal goes Swabia“ was the motto these days.

Applying correctly increases your chances of getting a job

If you are looking for a job, you usually have to apply to the company in writing. The better the application is formulated and presented, the better the impression on the employer—and therefore the better the chances of getting the job. It is therefore good to know the most important aspects and how to formulate a cover letter and write a CV. HR managers at companies also have certain requirements regarding the quality of photos and the documents submitted. As an application must not contain any spelling mistakes, it makes sense to give it to someone who can read German… Read More
