Relacionado con lo que comentaba por acá hace unos meses, Alemania está sufriendo la mayor fuga de cerebros desde la posguerra.
Y pensar que yo de chico no me perdía Telematch (visto en Instaundit):
For a nation that invented the term "guest worker" for its immigrant labourers, Germany is facing the sobering fact that record numbers of its own often highly-qualified citizens are fleeing the country to work abroad in the biggest mass exodus for 60 years.
Figures released by Germany's Federal Statistics Office showed that the number of Germans emigrating rose to 155,290 last year - the highest number since the country's reunification in 1990 - which equalled levels last experienced in the 1940s during the chaotic aftermath of the Second World War.

Fed up with comparatively poor job prospects at home - where unemployment is as high as 17 per cent in some regions - as well as high taxes and bureaucracy, thousands of Germans have upped sticks for Austria and Switzerland, or emigrated to the United States.
Yesterday, the country's woes were underscored by a report which disclosed that areas of unemployment-wracked eastern Germany were populated by a "male-dominated underclass susceptible to far right ideology" because of a dramatic 25 per cent exodus of young women aged 18 to 29.
More than 18,000 Germans moved to Switzerland last year. The US was the second most popular destination with 13,245, followed by Austria with 9,309.
Hm... cuidado con esta información,
ReplyDeletecuando se lee en detalle la estadística, resulta que la inmensa mayoría de los emigrados son extranjeros, por lo que puede
ser mano de obra extranjera que regresa a su pais de origen, otra cosa
que aclara la estadística es que
no está claro si son emigrantes
definitivos o transitorios....
En fin, las estadísticas..... :-/
Pd: disfruto de su blog a menudo.
No faltan los que predican las virtudes del "capitalismo renano" -con su tasa de desocupación del 10%- frente al desalmado "capitalismo anglosajón", típicamente el de Estados Unidos.
ReplyDeleteNo tengo dudas que la emigración de profesionales alemanes hacia otros países con menor tributación y mayores perspectivas de progreso es y será masiva.
