Progressive migration and integration policy in a period of global crises

Policymakers have achieved a lot in recent years in their efforts to lay the basis for a modern immigration policy: a modernised citizenship law, new regulations for skilled worker migration and comprehensive migration partnership agreements.

In response to demographic change it is imperative that Germany establishes itself as an attractive destination country in the international competition for skilled workers and takes full advantage of migration’s potential to bolster its living standards. It needs a comprehensive approach, including international partnerships, visa regulations and solutions to labour and social issues, as well as the establishment of a viable immigration society in Germany.

Within the framework of our focus series »Migration – a progressive formula« we shall be highlighting sustainable strategies and showcasing promising approaches, but also surveying the landscape to determine what is missing, in order to make migration policy fit for purpose. We shall shine a light on a variety of perspectives, from local to international, and link them together.
