Berlin, 3 May 2025<\/strong> – The Migration Policy Group presented early findings from MIPEX 2024<\/strong> at the \u201cMigration Matters for European Economic Growth\u201d workshop, highlighting Germany\u2019s performance in labour market integration.<\/p>\n

Organised by the European Liberal Forum<\/strong><\/a> with support from the Friedrich Naumann Foundation T\u00fcrkiye Office<\/strong><\/a>, the event brought together municipal leaders, civil society representatives, and policymakers, including MEP Jan-Christoph Oetjen<\/strong><\/a>, to explore how migration policies can promote inclusive and sustainable growth across Europe.<\/p>\n

Representing MPG, Dr. Ba\u015fak Yav\u00e7an<\/strong>, Head of Research, delivered insights during the session \u201cGermany as a Model? Lessons from Migration Policy & Integration Efforts.\u201d<\/em> Her presentation focused on Germany\u2019s Labour Market Integration<\/strong>, one of the strongest-performing policy areas in MIPEX 2024. Germany currently ranks 4th in the EU<\/strong> in this domain, with a score of 81\/100<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The session, which also featured Claudia Koehler<\/strong>, from the Farafina Institute<\/strong><\/a>, discussed how Germany\u2019s recent reforms – such as the Fachkr\u00e4fteeinwanderungsgesetz<\/em> and Chancenkarte – <\/em>are shaping migrant access to employment. Remaining challenges were also addressed, including unequal access for specific migrant groups, barriers in the recognition of foreign qualifications, and the time-limited nature of certain policies.<\/p>\n

MPG\u2019s input to the workshop aligns with its mission to support evidence-based policymaking and highlight the need for better alignment between national migration frameworks and local realities.<\/p>\n

The full MIPEX update for Germany will be presented on 26 May 2025 and published on the MIPEX website<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
