Less and fewer refugees, it seems, feel desired in Germany. At the same time, the interested parties report more danger about xenophobia. Many believe that there is discrimination in labor and housing markets, in particular, as a new study conducted by the German Institute of Economic Research (DIW), a new study shows.
“The perceived discrimination is not an isolated case for refugees, especially when they are looking for roofs. This is not only the risk of their integration, but also social coexistence, ”says the author of the study by Ellen Haidinger.
The feeling of greeting between refugees has been reduced since 2018
About a third of refugees who arrived in Germany from 2013 to 2019 report on discrimination during the search for the roof. 18% of refugees also believe that at the workplace there is discrimination and 14%.
In particular, refugees living in East Germany are more often discriminated than refugees living in West Germany. The reasons were not additionally investigated in the study, but, according to the authors, it is likely that a stressful financial situation in the East is partially responsible for the regional difference. It is also possible that discrimination against refugees is more intense in East Germany.
Requests for the Council of federalism against discrimination reached a report of 11,405 years last year. The percentage of cases of racist or ethnic discrimination is 43%, according to the annual service report. Compared to 2019, this number is crowded. Other types of discrimination include disability, gender, age, religion and sexual identity.
Experts also suggest that the number of inconsistent cases is high. Many of the victims are not addressed to state bodies from the lack of trust or ignorance.
Statisto -study on the prevalence of obvious xenophobia in Germany shows that the percentage is at the highest level over the past seven years, by 21.8% in 2024. The station was measured on the basis of consent or disagreement with statements classified as xenophobic.
98% intend to be naturalized
Nevertheless, the readiness of naturalization is high: 98 percent of those who fled to Germany from 2013 to 2019 intend to remain in the long term. The number of applications tripled for three years.
Although the period of naturalization has decreased in the reform of the law on citizenship in 2024, the requirements for economic independence increased. Div warns: “The reform threatens to exclude precisely those who benefit more than it. So valuable opportunities for integration are lost, ”says the author of training Yorg Hartmann.
Single families, and, in particular, a low -pericier specialization, will slow down in the process of naturalization. The results are also mixed for the author of the Sabine Zinn study. There are differences depending on gender, level of education and region.
“Ten years later, most male refugees have reached the labor market. However, women are much less likely to work, ”explains the author of the study Sabin Zinn. “There are still structural obstacles that make it difficult to participate. They are mainly associated with the lack of targeted education and integration into the labor market, ”Zinn notes.
