Christian Dustmann was interviewed on Tagesschau 24 during the program Börsenkurs, where he discussed recent trends in migration and education. Drawing on the recent CReAM Report: Education Levels Among Immigrants in the EU, he highlighted the rising education levels among immigrants coming to Germany and the importance of effectively integrating skilled workers into the labor market.
Dustmann noted that the gap in education levels between immigrants and native-born populations in Germany has steadily narrowed in recent years; a promising trend driven by global improvements in education and more selective immigration policies. He also addressed challenges posed by Germany’s rigid qualification system and emphasized the need for more flexible pathways to employment.
