“…Erst Ende der 1990er-Jahre setzt sich in Deutschland auch auf bundespolitischer Wenn man das Bildungsniveau der Neuzuwanderer zwischen 1990 und 2009 vergleicht, zeigt sich generell, dass die Zuwanderung von Hochqualifizierten konstant und deutlich zugenommen hat. So hat sich der Anteil von Universitätsabsolventen von 13 % in der Kohorte von 1990 bis 1994 auf 37 % bei der 2005-2009er-Kohorte erhöht (Gathmann et al 2014…”

“…Thus a tightening of migration policies could be witnessed both in traditional and "new" immigration countries such as Great Britain, USA, Italy and Spain, among others (Green and Winters, 2010). At the same time, migration from Mediterranean countries to European labour markets less hit by the crisis has significantly increased (Gathmann et al, 2014).

“…In the Mediterranean countries, the economic crisis temporarily put a halt to immigration and encouraged significant levels of return migration (Garcia Ballesteros and Jimenez, 2013;Larramona, 2013). In Spain especially, the crisis has led to considerable outflows, turning Spain into a sending country again (Garcia Ballesteros and Jimenez, 2013), and young university graduates from Southern Europe have increasingly decided to take up employment in Central Europe (Gathmann et al, 2014).

Under which circumstances do labour migration policies change? When do organizations become agents of change? And what triggers significant transformation in labour migration flows? We start from the assumption that, during the last years, change in the field of labour migration has intensified. In some countries, paradigmatic changes towards more liberal immigration regimes have taken place; new organizations have emerged; and the profile of intra‐European workers’ mobility has changed. The articles assembled in this volume shed light on developments in the field of labour migration by using the notion of change as their conceptual lens. They show that changes can best be captured with a multi‐level model and an interdisciplinary approach that connects labour migration issues to broader political science and sociological theories. Such an analysis shows that recent changes are paradigmatic, multi‐layered and ambiguous with regard to a further liberalization of the European labour migration regime.

“…This share was very similar to the one in the U.S. and in the U.K., but smaller than in Sweden or Canada (Figure 1). However, 15 million Germans have had at least one foreign-born parent (Gathmann et al, 2014), which leads to a fraction of persons with a migration backgrounddefined as having at least one foreign-born parent-as high as in Canada. In this section, I describe the population in-and-outflow to and from Germany from 1950 to 2015.…”

“…In the past, one third of all immigrants left the country already within one year. As an example, of all Indians and Chinese nationals who arrived in 2006, less than one quarter was still in Germany in 2012, even though many of them came with working permits (Gathmann et al, 2014). For this reason, I also present statistics on permanent migration as measured by the OECD when I discuss some reasons for migration at the end of this section.…”

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may AbstractThe paper uses a large survey (GSOEP) to analyze the labor market performance of immigrants in Germany. It finds that new immigrant workers earn on average 20 percent less than native workers with otherwise identical characteristics. The gap is smaller for immigrants from advanced countries, with good German language skills, and with a German degree, and larger for others. The gap declines gradually over time. Less success in obtaining jobs with higher occupational autonomy explains half of the wage gap. Immigrants are also initially less likely to participate in the labor market and more likely to be unemployed. While participation fully converges after 20 years, immigrants always remain more likely to be unemployed than the native labor force.JEL Classification Numbers: E24, F22, J15, J22, J31, J61
