Germany Needs A Big Increase In Intake Of Migrant Professionals

05 Feb 2013

As per a recent report by OECD, Germany will need a substantial increase in skilled immigrant labour to replace the aging workforce.

Germany would be required to liberalise recruitment of people with intermediate skills such as nurses and tradesmen. There would be a shortfall of 5.4 million skilled workers.

"For immigration to provide the expected contribution to meeting skilled labour demand, a significant increase in migration for employment - both from the enlarged EU/EFTA and from non-EU/EFTA countries - will thus be necessary,"

Chancellor Angela Merkel's government I has taken significant steps to fight the shortage of skilled labour.

"Demographic trends suggest that shortages will grow more acute and expand to more occupations,"

Germany has introduced flexible immigration guidelines and schemes for foreign professionals to migrate to New Zealand.

The two visa schemes that allow professional to search jobs and work in Germany are:

• Germany Skilled Job Seeker Visa
• EU Blue Card – Germany
