Shortages of skilled workers in Germany !
Due to the demographic development in Germany, the economy is dependent on the immigration of qualified workers. According to calculations by the Prognos research institute, there could be a shortage of around three million skilled workers, technicans, researchers and medical specialists by 2030. Altough other economic institutes consider this figure to be too high, it is undisputed that the latest progress report by the Federal Ministry of Labor also warns of a shortage of skilled workers. Longer working lives and higher labor force participation rates among women, as well as more investment in education are not enough in themselves.
Recruiting qualified women and men from abroad has therefore become an important element in securing skilled workers !
The German economy is growing, Industry is strong and innovation is a top priority. This means: employment is at record levels, the labor market needs more and more workers.
Germany is positioning itself as a modern and liberal immigration country. According to the OECD , Germany has one of the most liberal immigration systems of all industrialized countries for highly qualified people.
Therefore in Germany as an industrial location, engineers in all sectors, IT specialists and natural scientists are in demand. As the proportion of older people in the population increases, so does the demand for doctors and nurses. Therefore, immigrants with medical and social professors also have very good chances on the labor market.
