How many skilled worker visas are being granted in Germany?
Briefly

As Germany approaches its federal election, migration and citizenship law reform are key campaign topics, particularly for the CDU and CSU. However, these parties often overlook the critical issue of the country's worker shortage. With over a million job vacancies and projections indicating a decline of nearly 8 million workers by 2030, Germany must attract around 400,000 skilled workers annually. This urgency led to the enactment of the Skilled Worker Immigration Act in 2019 and new reforms under the current coalition, aiming to simplify immigration processes to address demographic challenges affecting the labor market.
Germany is facing a significant worker shortage, necessitating an influx of around 400,000 immigrants annually to support its labor market and pension system.
Political parties are focusing on immigration law reforms but are largely neglecting the urgent necessity of immigration to meet labor demands in Germany.
