Non-EU labour force triples inGermany in a decade

Date:

Berlin, July 23 (UNI) The number of temporary workers from countries outside the European Union (EU) registered in Germany has more than tripled over the past decade, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) said. The country had 295,000 non-EU workers in 2021, the most recent time that data is available, reports Xinhua news agency.

Altogether 33,900 of them were from India, or 11 percent of all non-EU workers with a temporary residence permit in Germany. Workers from China added up to 16,700, taking up 6 percent, according to Destatis.

Almost one in four non-EU workers were academic specialists with a European “blue card”, according to Destatis.

This permit was introduced throughout the EU in 2012 to address the bloc’s shortage of highly qualified specialists. The prerequisites for a blue card include a university degree and a job offer with a gross annual salary of at least 56,400 euros ($57,500).
