Demography vs Immigration in Germany: an Analysis of the Current Situation

Demographic and migration issues are becoming relevant for modern Germany as they have a significant impact on socio-economic processes in the country and in Europe, often destabilizing. Since international migration of the population and labor resources, in particular, remains an important direction and factor in the integration of the national economy into the global one, it also acts as a factor of globalization, affecting a whole range of different domestic aspects. The article aims to analyze current trends, causes, and possible negative consequences of demographic and migration processes in Germany from the point of view of the national economy and the social sphere. The study period is 2020-2024. (partly affecting 2010 and 2025 for comparison) – selected as containing major changes in Germany, including in the sociodemographic and migration spheres. Sources of statistical information are reports of international organizations. The authors conclude that the demographic and migration situation remains very difficult and is actually escalating and increasing, despite the efforts of the state, which, accordingly, requires the government to find new methods of regulating these problems and, in our opinion, more independent ones.
