Despite Germany’s strong demand for skilled international workers and attractive job prospects, many of these professionals decide to leave the country annually. Common issues cited include difficulties adapting to social and professional environments, as well as experiences of discrimination.
These challenges often hinder successful integration, affecting immigrants’ personal and career satisfaction. The combination of cultural barriers and workplace dynamics plays a significant role in their decision to move elsewhere.
**Why this matters**
Germany’s economy relies heavily on skilled foreign workers to fill labor shortages and support growth. High turnover among this group can impact industries and innovation. Addressing integration obstacles is essential to retain talent and maintain Germany’s competitive edge in the global market.
