Foreign students boost Germany's economy
A recent study reveals that international students who start their studies in Germany remain there until retirement age, with up to one-third of them staying. They also participate significantly in the German labor market after completing their studies, with 45% entering the workforce. The study estimates that approximately 82,000 international students in 2023 contributed economically around 127 billion euros over the course of their careers. Additionally, there is a net financial surplus for the public treasury exceeding 23 billion euros, resulting from taxes and contributions paid by these graduates two years after their graduation. The findings emphasize that government investment in international students quickly pays off, as the taxes and fees they contribute over just two years after graduation surpass the public costs involved. This underscores the importance of attracting more talented international students to support the economy and reduce the skilled labor shortage in Germany.
