Recent data from the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) shows a concerning trend of skilled migrants leaving Germany, citing systemic administrative failures and barriers to integration.

就業研究 Institute (IAB) 最近的數據顯示，專業移民離開德國的趨勢令人擔憂，原因在於系統性的行政失效以及融入社會的障礙。

The loss of skilled foreign workers is caused by a combination of social, economic, and institutional pressures. According to IAB research, those who leave are typically younger people who have not lived in Germany for long and often speak English better than German. While 60% of these individuals return to their home countries, 40% move to other European countries, such as Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and Croatia, which suggests that the regional labor market is highly competitive.

專業外籍勞工的流失是由社交、經濟和體制壓力共同造成的。根據 IAB 的研究，離開者通常是較年輕的人，在德國居住時間較短，且英文程度通常優於德文。雖然 60% 的人返回原居國，但 40% 則移居至其他歐洲國家，如瑞士、西班牙、義大利和克羅埃西亞，這顯示區域勞動力市場的競爭非常激烈。

Administrative difficulties are a primary reason for these departures. The IAB emphasizes a link between negative experiences with bureaucracy—specifically the long processing times for citizenship, visas, and the recognition of qualifications—and a lower feeling of social integration. Furthermore, Tilman Frank of the BVIFG asserted that poor language preparation and a mismatch between professional qualifications and actual job roles cause many to leave early. For example, some specialists in acute care are forced to work in basic nursing roles.

行政上的困難是這些人離開的主要原因。IAB 強調，對於官僚制度的負面體驗——特別是申請公民身份、簽證及專業資格認證的處理時間過長——與社交融入感降低之間存在關聯。此外，BVIFG 的 Tilman Frank 主張，語言準備不足以及專業資格與實際工作崗位不匹配，導致許多人提前離開。例如，部分急性護理專家被迫從事基礎護理工作。

To address these challenges, the German government has started several structural reforms. These include a new centralized system by the Federal Employment Agency and a central immigration authority in Hesse. However, the effectiveness of these measures is currently limited by a lack of staff in public offices and a fragmented approach to digitalization across different federal states.

為了應對這些挑戰，德國政府已啟動數項結構性改革。其中包括由聯邦就業局建立的新中央系統，以及在黑森州設立的中央移民局。然而，由於公務機關缺乏人手，且各聯邦州的數位化接軌碎片化，這些措施目前的成效有限。

Germany continues to struggle to keep skilled migrants because of bureaucratic inefficiency and language barriers, despite ongoing efforts to centralize and digitalize immigration services.

儘管德國持續努力將移民服務中央化與數位化，但由於官僚效率低下和語言障礙，仍難以留住專業移民。
