International students bring large euros to Germany

A recent study conducted by the German Economic Institute (IW) revealed that international students in Germany generate greater economic benefits than previously thought, contributing an estimated 127 billion euros over their lifetime careers. The study also showed that approximately 82,000 foreign students enrolled in higher education in 2023, most of whom remain in the country until retirement or enter the labor market, paying taxes and social contributions that exceed the costs borne by the state for funding universities and infrastructure. The research confirmed that the long-term profits from these students surpass 23 billion euros, and the investments made in their education quickly pay off after graduation, with the taxes they pay exceeding government spending on their education just two years after graduation. University officials and researchers emphasized the importance of providing an attractive study environment to retain international talent and leverage their potential to support economic development.
