Development of labor market integration since arrival in Germany: Employment and wages of refugees have significantly increased

Abstract

"At the end of 2022, there were about 2.2 million people living in Germany (not counting the Ukrainian citizens who have fled since the start of the Russian war of aggression) who have come as refugees and asylum seekers. The vast majority have recognized protection status and intend to stay in Germany. The successful integration of these refugees is highly relevant for the labor market, the welfare state, the society and politics. We investigate how labor market integration, benefit receipt and educational attainment of refugees who arrived until 2019 have developed in order to draw conclusions for the further employment trajectories of this group and also of refugee groups who arrived later."
