- International Migration from Turkey to Germany
- Impact on the Economy
- Positive Impact on Turkey
- More people leaving Turkey takes the pressure off the unemployment rate
- More money comes back into the economy as remittances
- When the guest workers return to Turkey they bring new skills and money
- Positive Impact on Germany
- Turkish immigrants provided a cheap, skilled workforce, which assisted the labour shortage following the Second World War
- This increased cheap labour allowing rapid expansion of German manufactoring
- Negative Impact on Turkey
- The people who migrate are often the more educated and skilled workers, so the country experiences a 'brain drain'
- The people who are left are less skilled and therefore productivity and innovation declines
- Negative Impact on Germany
- In 1967 and 1990 recession led to unemployment. Many Germans lost their jobs but the Turks remained in their low paid jobs.
- This fuelled social and ethnic conflict in some cities
- Positive Impact on Turkey
- Impact on Services
- Positive Impact on Turkey
- As people leave Turkey this can reduce the pressure on the services
- This allows the government to concentrate on essential services
- Negative Impact on Turkey
- With many of the economically active people leaving, this might cause a reduction in services
- Positive Impact on Germany
- The Turkish people usually take on jobs that the Germans do not want to do
- Many of the low cost personal services (e.g hairdressing, cleaning and driving buses etc.) for the German population
- Negative Impact on Germany
- More money is spent on translation services. More leaflets are needed in Turkish and in school
- There are more students who do not speak German as a first language
- Positive Impact on Turkey
- The migrants who experience life in other countries return with new skills and knowledge, enriching the Turkish population
- The increase in people promotes cultural diversity. German currently has the lowest fertility rate in the EU, with only 1.36 children per woman Migrants are usually young and will have children, which helps stabilise the birth rate
- Many traditional Turkish people are concerned that the increased global attitude of their people is diluting the Turkish religious beliefs and cultural traditions
- In the early 1990s a number of racial/ethnic attacks on Turkish people fuelled concerns of social problems in Germany. Many migrant workers who lived in Germany wanted citizenship but had to wait a very long time
