Study Reveals 21 Percent of Germans Contemplating Departure
The research, published Saturday, revealed that 34% of residents with migrant origins are contemplating departure, while that figure climbs to 37% among their children.
The German Center for Integration and Migration Studies (DeZIM) conducted the investigation between 2024 and 2025, gathering responses from 2,933 participants.
Among native-born Germans without immigrant heritage, 17% reported considering emigration. Meanwhile, 31% of those originating from the former Soviet Union and 28% from other EU nations expressed similar intentions.
Across all demographic segments, pursuit of a "higher quality of life" emerged as the predominant motivation for potential relocation.
Discrimination experiences factored prominently for individuals with immigrant backgrounds.
Data indicated that 25% of participants from Türkiye and the Middle East and North Africa region identified discrimination encounters as a catalyst for considering departure.
Fabio Best, a research officer at DeZIM, underscored that the findings demonstrate sustained elevated desire to exit Germany.
"Especially among people with a migration background and their children, the search for better living conditions, along with perceptions of discrimination, plays an important role," he stated.
