Die
Integration von Zuwanderern in Deutschland: Aspekte der Politik
und des Arbeitsmarktes
Zusammenfassung
Since the end of World
War II, Germany has been one of the most important immigrant
countries in Western Europe. As a result of ongoing immigration
7.3 million ethnic Germans have immigrated since 1990. This paper
analyses the integration of immigrants into the German labor
market, focusing mainly on labor migrants from former recruitment
countries and on ethnic Germans, who moved to Germany since the
middle of the eighties. After reviewing immigration policies and
the modes of incorporation, empirical finding of the labor market
integration of these two immigrant groups will be presented. The
empirical studies show that - although no serious income
discrimination could be identified - foreign workers and ethnic
Germans are occupied to a higher degree in low qualified
professions and their unemployment rates are remarkably above
those of natives.
