US EditionHope and hate: how migrant influx has changed Germany
Since 2015, Germany's migrant influx has reshaped society and politics, with 44% of migrants receiving social benefits and 65% employed by 2022, highlighting integration challenges and economic impacts.
- Germany experienced a massive migrant influx in 2015 when over one million asylum seekers arrived, mainly from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
- This influx followed civil wars in Syria and Afghanistan and Chancellor Merkel's decision days after to keep Austria's border open, fueling both compassion and criticism.
- Though many refugees like Malakeh Jazmati quickly established businesses and integration, public services and housing have been stretched, causing social tensions and a rise in hate crimes.
- In the past year, foreign nationals accounted for 35.4 percent of individuals suspected of crimes, during a period that saw violent offenses increase by 20 percent and hate crimes rise by nearly one-third to approximately 19,500 incidents.
- The migrant wave reshaped Germany’s demographics and politics, strengthening far-right parties and prompting the current government to enforce stricter migration controls while facing a skilled labor shortage.
