Among OECD member states, Germany is one of the countries that is most affected by demographic change. The country also has an acute need for additional skilled and unskilled workers – in the healthcare and care sectors, for example. The federal government has introduced various legislative changes in recent years in order to make it easier to recruit skilled workers from other countries. What are the benefits of and barriers to labour migration to Germany? How will policy measures impact the scale and makeup of this migration? What regional differences are there in terms of demographics and migration? And how do businesses go about hiring skilled workers from other countries?
We have compiled a list of IAB publications and projects that help to answer these and other questions you may have about the migration of skilled workers.
