Why a quarter of immigrants in Germany are thinking of leaving
Briefly

A recent study by Germany's Institute for Employment Research (IAB) reveals that 26% of immigrants think about leaving Germany, with the situation more pronounced in knowledge-intensive jobs, where 39% are contemplating departure. This study was derived from a survey sampling 50,000 immigrants, highlighting significant reasons for this trend, including political dissatisfaction and workplace discrimination. Notably, around one-third are undecided about their future, while 57% wish to stay permanently. Dr. Katia Gallegos Torres indicates that social integration greatly influences these immigration plans.
"A strong subjective feeling of being welcome, emotional ties to Germany, and low perceptions of discrimination reduce the likelihood of emigration considerations and plans."
"Political dissatisfaction, discrimination in the workplace, high tax burden, and bureaucratic obstacles are key factors driving immigrants to consider leaving Germany."
