India-Germany Labor Market & Migration Dynamics

India's labor market, characterized by a large and diverse workforce, faces both opportunities and challenges with many Indians are increasingly interested in working in Europe attracted by strong career prospects. Germany’s demand for skilled labour presents an attractive destination for many Indian skilled workers. However, with the specific prerequisites for Indian migrant workers to enter the German labor market, the transition is not always straightforward. Many workers encounter a gap between their initial expectations and the realities of working in Germany. Additionally, the circular migration, where workers temporarily move and later return to India, adds new dimension to the migration pattern between India and Germany. This webinar seeks to address these topics, offering a comparative analysis of labor market dynamics between two countries.
