about this book deutsch english
For a long time, Germany has not considered itself as an immigration country. Instead, the guest worker program initiated in the second half of the last century determined the way of thinking and dealing with immigration over the last decades. Foreigners have been regarded as temporary residents who would return to their country of origins after having accomplished their work in Germany. However, due to family reunifications, the fall of the iron curtain and the ongoing globalization Germany has continued to serve as a destination country for immigrants. Today, almost nineteen percent of the population in Germany are either foreign citizens or have a migration background. Consequently, immigration and the integration of foreigners into the labor market have received increasing attention in the economic-political debate.keywords
