The Organization For Economic Co-operation And Development OECD: Germany

Germany Dept: Immigration may be the only hope, according to a recent report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD , according to CBC. Germany is also not as attractive a destination as English-speaking countries such as United States, Canada or Britain, partly because of the German language and while Europe's financial crisis has thrown millions out of work, mostly in Spain, Italy and Greece, Germany faces a drastic labour shortage because of its aging workforce and one of the European Union's lowest birth rates. 'The immigration system does not take into account the need for persons with medium qualification levels.' Yves Leterme, OECD Deputy Secretary General If Germany doesn t tackle the problem in the right way there would be a negative impact on not only the potential growth but the real economic growth, OECD Deputy Secretary General Yves Leterme says, adding Australia, Denmark and Britain hire five times as many immigrants.
