In an interview for Slovak RTVS, our research fellow Christian Kvorning Lassen commented Angela Merkel's proposal on managing the migration from Africa to Europe. According to Prognos expertise in 2030 Germany will have a shortage of approximately 3 million workers.
Creating these programs of educating process for migrants from Africa should not be conditioned by eliminating ilegal imigration, because the problem of aging population and lack of workers is already present. Nevertheless the proposal of Angela Merkel should be an inspiration for other European leaders.
