Students in Germany

While over 200,000 Indian nationals possess a regular residence permit, a surge of Indian students enrolled for the Winter Semester 2022-23 was noticed. It was found that the number of Indian students in Germany has increased by 107% in 4 years, according to a report by Studying-in-Germany.org

As per the report, 20,562 Indian students were studying in Germany in 2019. The numbers reached all time high of 42,997 in 2023, data from the Federal Statistical Office of Germany revealed. India displaced China and took over as the leading country with maximum student inflow in Germany.

Germany’s demography

Germany’s demography has been dealing with narrowing working age population and widening old age population coupled with a declining birth rate. This ever increasing population of dependents created a shortage of workforce in the country.  

Earlier in February last year, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz simplified the process of obtaining work visas for Indian IT experts and granted a number of relaxations to immigrants to boost inflow. The move to ease visa restrictions, provide language relaxations and permit Indians to land in the German soil without concrete job offer was made to address the need to recruit skilled workers from abroad. 

In the year 2022, The German Economic Institute (IW) reported a shortage of 320,000 STEM specialists in the country. However, the same year was matched by 190% increase in inflow of foreign STEM employees in the country since 2012. Hence the number of foreign STEM specialists reached 202,000.
