Abstract

Promoting the immigration of qualified labour from abroad is one of the measures used by western industrialised nations to ensure a pool of skilled workers. To date, however, both Germany and the EU have not been very successful in attracting (highly) qualified immigrants on the whole compared to other industrialised nations.
