Skilled foreign workers who have left - missed opportunities for the German labor market?
Between 2000 and 2020, more than 18 million foreigners immigrated to Germany, while at the same time more than 13 million foreigners left the country (excluding refugee migration). A new study by the IAW and the SOKO Institute on behalf of the Federal Employment Agency shows which foreign workers are increasingly migrating and analyzes the reasons for this. For this purpose, approximately 2,000 emigrants from ten important countries of origin of skilled labor immigration were contacted via social media after emigration and subsequently interviewed with a questionnaire.
