Why foreign skilled workers often leave Germany again

A recently published study by the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IAW) in Tübingen and the SOKO Institute in Bielefeld sheds light on the increasing exodus of foreign skilled workers from Germany. Based on an extensive online survey and interviews, the reasons why international skilled workers leave Germany are examined. A key finding is the diversity of migration motives. While some skilled workers originally came to Germany for professional reasons, other factors often play a role in the decision to leave the country again. Difficulties with integration, experiences of discrimination and challenges in the professional environment are particularly emphasized. In… Read More

27 January is Holocaust Remembrance Day

In the German culture of remembrance, there are two dates on which politicians, the media, volunteers and many people remember the crimes and murder committed against millions of people of Jewish origin between 1933 and 1945.

The German passport is safe

Anyone who has been naturalised in Germany and holds a German passport can no longer be deported. This is stated in Article 16 of the Basic Law. It states: “German citizenship may not be revoked.” This has been in force in Germany since 1949 and was a reaction to the fact that people were expatriated on political, racial or religious grounds during the Nazi dictatorship. The Basic Law now prohibits the revocation of citizenship if this would render people stateless. Refugees with a German passport therefore do not need to worry because right-wing extremists are considering deporting migrants and immigrants… Read More

Jury chooses “remigration” as the Unword 2023

By Ute Kaiser “Remigration” means return migration. In migration research, it is mainly used to describe voluntary return. However, it is now used by right-wing parties (such as the AfD) and right-wing and far-right movements (such as the Identitarian Movement) to disguise their real intentions: the forced expulsion or even mass deportation of people “with supposedly the wrong skin colour or origin, even if they are German citizens”. This is how a jury member of the “Unword of the Year” campaign described why they chose the right-wing campaign term “remigration” as the Unword of 2023. In German, terms or phrases… Read More
