Germany has an acute need for immigrants

On the eastern enlargement of the EU a few years, but the citizens of new countries still have fewer rights than citizens of the old member states. Limitations must fall, experts advise – Deutsche Welle material.

In principle, every EU citizen is entitled to work in all other countries of the Community, given the large scissors, zeeshta income for new member states from Eastern Europe in force transition periods. These restrictions on free choice of work may last up to 7 years. From these abundant benefits and Germany – German labor market remains largely closed tightly in the direction East. Economic experts believe that this is a blunder.

University graduates are welcome in Germany

Olaf Sholts not understand the criticism. German Federal Minister of Labor and Social Affairs found that the conduct of its labor market policy is more than good. Sholts really decide this spring, that Eastern European countries and in the future no one can work without restriction in Germany, but:

„Germany is available from January 1 this year at the findings in the world labor market for people with higher education. High School Education from all EU Member States, including from new, can enjoy complete freedom in the choice of work place. And that is no less important: companies in Germany may try to resolve problems with a shortage of highly qualified specialists checking whether the labor markets in Europe are still not interested to offer their work force. “

Six months from now in force for this freedom of the highly skilled German labor market, but the effect has been invisible. Due on the one hand, the fact that the decisions of the German Federal Government is so far little known at home and abroad. On the other hand, as the director says of the German Institute for Economic Research Klaus Zimmermann, Germany has problems with its image. Foreign experts continue to be felt in Germany because of the ongoing general restrictive policy on the labor market as simply side:

„I did observe that in recent weeks. Where the April 1 to celebrate quinquennial of the big eastern expansion, came from Brussels massive criticism, it is high time that Germany and Austria at last to raise the limits. And we said:“ No, Stay as we are. „And this is the idea that setting for Germany. This message is now a symbol for Germany, but in any case it is a problem.“

Germany must become more open

To remove the shortage of specialists, „says Zimmermann, the last message should have read that Germany is a country open to migrants. For this purpose, however, should fall restrictions. Led Zimmermann Institute has found that Great Britain and Ireland, which opened its labor market in good time, had a serious benefit from immigration because they arrived before all workers, including local labor markets have experienced need.

And Germany is sdobiva during 2004-2006 year with significantly more immigrants from Eastern Europe in comparison with previous years, but they were not beneficial to the labor market, as were relatively older, better-qualified and tend to perform species in low-skilled labor agreement were the worst jobs and the longest working hours. And unemployment has affected 24 percent more of them than with the local workforce.
