(DW)Why migrants come to Germany for work and then leave again

Summary
A study by Germany’s Institute for Employment Research (IAB) found that successful immigration policy requires understanding why immigrants leave as well as why they arrive. Survey results show that emigration is influenced by multiple factors, including family reasons, discrimination, complex bureaucracy, housing difficulties, and challenges in learning German. Younger migrants, those with shorter stays, and those whose families remain abroad are more likely to leave, with about 60% returning to their home countries and 40% moving to other European countries.

Researchers and employers argue that lengthy administrative procedures, high fees, slow recognition of foreign qualifications, and limited career support make it harder for immigrants to build long-term lives in Germany. They also stress that adequate German language training before arrival and accurate information about jobs are essential for retaining skilled workers. While Germany is improving immigration administration through digitalization and new support initiatives, staff shortages and fragmented implementation continue to limit progress.
