“Of the 1.3 million asylum seekers registered in Germany since 2015, only 17% claim to have attended an institution of higher education (so less than one in five), and the majority, in reality, have not gone beyond secondary school. Doctors and engineers are very much in the minority, accounting for less than 2% of the total. According to the latest figures from the German authorities, 69,300 Syrians have a real job in Germany (subject to contributions), i.e. one Syrian in 7. 85% of them depend on social assistance to live. And this is the reality that the Germans are discovering: integration is particularly difficult for refugees, despite the training programs and assistance in place. Only 150,000 refugees from the eight main asylum-producing countries have found stable employment since 2015.”
