Produktbeschreibung
The migration debate, Germany's ageing population problems, and the lack of skilled and highly skilled labour in Germany, have been taken up in scholarly discourse and by politicians. Scholars have discussed the importance of migration for Germany's future in order to secure its economic power status. The author examines that immigration of foreign professionals to Germany has mostly been considered from a German viewpoint. Challenging this dominant perspective, Xenia Gläser explores what labour migration to Germany means for the migrants themselves, their career, their social life, and their families. Since Indian IT professionals play a key role in regard to Germany's recruitment of foreign professionals, this publication focuses on experiences and opinions of Indian IT Professionals with regard to their labour migration to Germany - the good experiences as well as the bad. For that purpose, the author has conducted interviews with Indian IT professionals, at a German stock company, about their migration to Germany and their life in this destination country. Based on these interviews the author has brought to light the risks and chances identified by the respondents.
