Germany relies on immigrants to fill labor gaps
Foreign labor in Germany has become a key element in balancing the labor market, especially as the number of working-age Germans has declined. Since 2014, the German population of working age has decreased by about 3.9 million, while the number of foreigners has increased by 3.4 million. The country is suffering from a serious shortage of skilled professionals in vital sectors such as healthcare, construction, transportation, and culinary arts, with an estimated gap of 340,000 qualified workers. The reliance on foreigners to compensate for the decline in German workers is growing. In some eastern regions, there is greater pressure than in major cities, and the demand for foreign skilled labor is increasing. The number of foreigners working in certain states has risen, and new applications for work permits for foreigners exceeded 500,000 in 2025. Over the past five years, the number of foreigners in the labor market has doubled. Skilled migration is essential to maintain the sustainability of the labor market and to achieve balance in the face of ongoing demographic challenges.
