Auswanderungsabsichten: Deutsche Akademiker zieht es ins Ausland – jedoch nur auf Zeit

In der Diskussion um die Integration von Zuwanderern in Deutschland wird vielfach übersehen, dass Deutschland nicht nur ein Einwanderungsland, sondern in stärkerem Maße auch ein Auswanderungsland ist. Das gilt vor allem für die Deutschen selbst. So hat der Anteil der Deutschen an allen Auswanderern in den letzten Jahren deutlich zugenommen. Von den fast 750 000 Menschen, die Deutschland im Jahr 2009 ...

Considering Emigration: German university graduates are moving abroad—but only temporarily

Much of the current German debate about the integration of immigrants overlooks the fact that Germany is not solely a country of immigration, but also—and to a substantial degree—a country of emigration. One of the largest groups of emigrants is made up of Germans themselves. The percentage of German natives in the total population of emigrants has risen substantially over the last few years. In 2009, ...

Zwar geht der Unterschied zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland seit 2005 zurück - auf rund zwölf Prozent ...

Wages in Eastern Germany Still Considered More Unjust Than in the West

Almost 25 years after the fall of the Wall and far more eastern Germans are unhappy with their income than western Germans. In 2013, around 44 percent of employed eastern Germans rated their earnings as unfair compared with approximately one third in western Germany. Although the east-west gap has been diminishing since 2005--to around 12 percent in 2013--this is not because eastern Germans feel that ...
