报告说,德国每年需要288,000名外国工人,以避免劳动力大幅下降。 Germany needs 288,000 foreign workers yearly to avoid a major workforce decline, a report says.

Bertelsmann基金会的一份报告警告说,德国每年需要288,000名外国工人,直到2040年,以防止其劳动力因人口老龄化而缩减10%。 A report by the Bertelsmann Foundation warns that Germany needs around 288,000 foreign workers annually until 2040 to prevent a 10% shrinkage in its workforce due to an aging population. 没有这些工人,劳动力就可能从4 640万下降到4 190万。 Without these workers, the labor force could drop from 46.4 million to 41.9 million. 虽然最近的改革放宽了合格外国人的入境条件,但需要一种更受欢迎的文化来吸引他们,特别是在图林根和萨克森-安哈尔特等地区。 While recent reforms ease entry for qualified foreigners, a more welcoming culture is needed to attract them, especially in regions like Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt.
