Why skilled immigrants stay in Germany (it’s not just for the jobs!) | DW News
Video Overview & Insights
Many immigrants complain about Germany’s high taxes, housing crisis, bureaucracy and lack of digitalization. And some say they don’t find Germans welcoming. And yet, many still choose to stay. Why? Here’s a look at what makes Germany appealing to skilled immigrants despite some of the challenges and drawbacks associated with living in Europe’s biggest economy.
I am not even german or live in germany but around the europe people are taking advantage of the system and that's the reason all europe now is so against immigrants..many of them are living only with goverment money and do not want to work or they are using the system like it's made only to help them and most of the time countries are losing money just to be fair with the immigrants..and like they say..they work in english only work places..I hate speaking german because is so hard..and I am not even oblied to do so but many immigrants are staying in their bubble and don't want to be part of the german culture and to learn the language..this is not a hate message..it's the reality..everybody comes for better life but without being part of german culture

@SalmanovGadzhimurad-pj9qqI am born in germany and immigrated to canada 20 years ago, my trades degree is not recognized here either. The mindset to come from a foreign country and just move in without any difficulties is mind boggling to me. No one asks you to give up your culture just because they expect you to adapt a few things like learning their language properly. Communication is key all the time!
@markusmiddendorf5856Many don't understand or do research. Mostly Indian immigrants with good education background brings lot of expertise, Skills, Resources and Stable Family System. If they got good respect, Good space for there culture things ,food and music they make sure that country or region develop very fast.
@Capturethenature-q5sI thought it's Idris Elba
@udoyxyzSad... I am currently completing all of my requirements to go to Germany for Ausbildung....
Hope this won't affect me and other people who do same path as I am.
Well, nurse and physician are leaving. No help from the government there. Also the start up grant doesn't apply for them. And the Arbeitsagentur helps exactly zero. Germany is by no means developed regarding digitalization, not regarding international employees. It is catastrophic. People invest to go to Germany and find themselves stranded there.
@anitad991This is nonsense.
@user-mb4tr8mj9oLeft Europe 7 years ago. Life is so much better in Hong Kong “regime” according to the west❤
@ChiYeung-m6h6nIt's on both sides. Employers want to manipulate immigrants and these immigrants love getting manipulated because even lower salaries paid in euros are better for them than they get paid in their poor countries.
@TupacUS711OR MAYBE it is the sentiment of the majority.
@catcat4378Dw just want to cheat the skilled people to choose working in German, But When you come and find it is hard to find a job or businesses!
@Alfred127-wI’m a female German STEM graduate with excellent English skills and international work experience, and I still struggle to find work here. It appears that one often needs to further qualify with a PhD, especially when coming from abroad.
@kathleenmelzer7499Secret to fixing immigration: fair economic policy.
All goods are taken away from Africa for very cheap for the benefit of Europe and western developed countries.
The herd goes towards the greener/ nutritious/safer pasture.
Western countries should stop the colonial/imperial practices.
I guarantee you this will fix the immigration issues.
Was that Idris Alba' brother?
@wyswygsommer2769Question. She lives in Germany for 16 years. Can she speak any german?
@patrik3482Don't you just love when americans lecture others about their own countries?
@patrik3482Even the justice system is discriminatory. You will in my opinion get a unfavorable Judgement if you are coloured and most of these judgments will be justified using a mesh of laws and paragraphs and so on. Like under paragragh x line x civil code book x subsection y amended by XX Law paragraph xxx civil code yy. However under law xy subsection bbb this court5 does not have power to pass Judgement in the case. The case is dismissed under rule xxx procedure yy and so on.
@janardhanparveshwar4307Someone should tell her that America is a continent not a country and Americans are all the people that live in the continent not only the people in the US
@Linkavich14An immigrant who arrives unskilled in Germany and studies there is not a skilled immigrant.
@ChristophWeise-b4uI think there is a big misconception (especially among Indians) who think they are the skilled workers that countries like Germany need. It is true that there is a shortage of skilled workers in German, but the average Indian IT worker is not comparable to the average German IT worker. India has much lower standards and has always been a market for 'quantity over quality'. For exceptional Indian IT workers, there are always very high paying jobs in Germany.
@r136a4From my perspective as a highly educated immigrant with years of experience, I have to say that the situation has not changed for me even after mastering the language (I am close to obtaining a B2 certificate). I still receive only job rejections, even though I have invested time and money into learning how to apply and present myself properly. All of it feels pointless when I have not received a single opportunity for an interview. Diplomas, references, additional certificates, proof of work experience — everything officially translated — and it is still not enough.
After almost four years, it is time to leave. I came to Germany for personal development and better pay, but I have not found what I was hoping for. If I cannot move beyond wages that hover around minimum pay, then that is a sign that I am not recognized here — and evidently not needed either.
Since when is in munich daycare free?
@bellablue13471:17 if there are 10 people in a room and 3 of them are immigrants does that make the 7 others immigrants too?
@guyfainberg4035Solomon Reed's job before being hired by FIA.
@xXSilentAgent47Xx30%? In some cities is more like 51%. A German congresswoman sayed not a single main German city will have majority of native Germans anymore in the next 15 years... So it is not our country anymore.
@adrianosousamendes2948Thought it was Idris Elba then thought it was Ledley King lmao. And just knew he is actually Zambian (ZM). Well done bro, much love.
@kasubakapambwe5621Why do Brazilians get paid so well?
@isabelmcneish4019Everyone knows how bad or good Germany really is. I am working as a Working Student in the Finance department at Uni. Only 2 people in the whole dept are technical. I know they need more people, but I bet they won't hire. Massive discrimination. They say they want more skilled people, but at the same time, skilled people are struggling just because of this thug language, even in IT, where there is nothing to do with the German language. Now I understand why Germany is on the verge of chaos.
@arslan_latifBecause skilled Germans like myself move away. I live in Finland, because i can afford a house there. One which isn't helicopter parented and price-inflated by the government. Viel Spaß noch an die Leute, die in Deutschland bleiben wollen.
@mike_et_saikaI came here for idris elba delivering news and collecting that 5% from frank
@AintthatluckyGerman will be tough but desire to work and contribute to their advances is still my ambition.
@ramongildore6473Did anyone notice the Bangladeshi flag at 4:41
@scientifictafseerNot even close, I am having a really bad time in Mainz right now, as a skilled IT engineer I can't find a job yet. I am really thinking about moving to Germany was a really bad decision, you don't feel welcome and on interviews they don't even take you in consideration for the roles
@tato_418the the germans come to Switzerland 😂😂😂😂!!!!
@larsjohansson660What about skilled soldier immigrant?
@AikeNge789Sorry but skilled ppl are running away actually or get depressed from your bürocracy
@KbkhoonSo where do unskilled Germans go?
@averagebodybuilderAfter 2 years of being in Germany and over 300 unsuccessful job applications although having a PhD and work experience, I am now leaving Germany with my 3 kids in 40 days. English only jobs are scarce, secondary schooling is poor and the healthcare system is under pressure. Speaking German is a gatekeeping tool. The language isnt easy and the environment and culture makes it difficult...there are better places than Germany! Life does not have to he as challenging as this place makes it to be. Having resilience should not be glorified...!
