Abstract

"Like many other European countries, Germany is experiencing a rise in xenophobic attitudes. Yet within Germany, there are significant regional differences. Business- and political leaders believe that xenophobic sentiment is already jeopardizing the attractiveness of some German regions as a business location. Two studies by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) now show how xenophobic attitudes in the regions affect both intra-German labor mobility and foreign workers’ choice of residence. The IAB Forum editorial team asked Tanja Buch and Carola Burkert about their findings." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
