The purpose of this study is to answer the question of whether Germany’s ageing population and labour shortages in the elderly care service industry led to an increase in labour migration from third countries in recent years. The population of Germany has been ageing since the 1970s, which resulted, among other things, in the increased demand for elderly care services. Germany has a long history of labour migration, and, as in many developed countries, its elderly care system relies heavily on migrant labour.
The research consists of two parts. The first part focuses on the evolution of Germany’s immigration policy and implementation of governmental initiatives aimed at the recruitment of nursing personnel from abroad. The second part is an investigation of the potential migration of Russian-speaking caregivers from outside the European Union.
