Due to a special report on migration and security in Germany, about 146,000 immigrants are needed to meet labor shortages in the long-run (Euroactiv, 2019).
Along with this article, a demographic change in Germany is linked to the fact that around 300,000 labor forces leave the country. In order to buck the declining demographic trend, the Bertelsmann Stiftung migration report, states that a net total of 260,000 non-German migrants must arrive annually (Zuwanderung und Digitalisierung, 2019).
A significant benefit will be reached when labor force participation gradually grows and won’t be kept at a constant rate. When labor force participation is kept on a constant rate and no future immigration is considered, as a result, the potential labor force would be reduced to 31.0 million people by 2060 (Zuwanderung und Digitalisierung, 2019).
This might be an extreme case that nobody immigrates, but even if there is a reduction in net immigration from 400,000 to 200,000 in each year, the potential labor force will decline by about 6.3 million people by 2060. (Zuwanderung und Digitalisierung, 2019).
As already mentioned, Germany has an aging population; as a result, less young labor is paying into the welfare system. The fact that Germany is representing one of the most comprehensive welfare systems, additional labor force will undoubtedly support the social-orientated system.
Due to continuous stability in the economy and labor market, a high amount of people immigrated to Germany to benefit from better job opportunities hence realizing a better life. Furthermore, it is no secret that Labor-related immigration has a positive effect on production by raising the number of workers, and more goods and services can be produced.
