In 2023, the population share with a migrant background in the wider sense was almost 30 percent. According to the source, a person is considered to have a migrant background when they or at least one parent do not have German citizenship by law. This definition includes the following:1. Immigrated and non-immigrated foreigners.2. Immigrated and non-immigrated naturalized citizens.3. Late emigrants.4. Descendants born with German citizenship within the three groups named above.

Germany DE: International Migrant Stock: % of Population data was reported at 14.879 % in 2015. This records an increase from the previous number of 14.429 % for 2010. Germany DE: International Migrant Stock: % of Population data is updated yearly, averaging 11.828 % from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2015, with 6 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 14.879 % in 2015 and a record low of 7.518 % in 1990. Germany DE: International Migrant Stock: % of Population data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Germany – Table DE.World Bank.WDI: Population and Urbanization Statistics. International migrant stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees. The data used to estimate the international migrant stock at a particular time are obtained mainly from population censuses. The estimates are derived from the data on foreign-born population--people who have residence in one country but were born in another country. When data on the foreign-born population are not available, data on foreign population--that is, people who are citizens of a country other than the country in which they reside--are used as estimates. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 people living in one of the newly independent countries who were born in another were classified as international migrants. Estimates of migrant stock in the newly independent states from 1990 on are based on the 1989 census of the Soviet Union. For countries with information on the international migrant stock for at least two points in time, interpolation or extrapolation was used to estimate the international migrant stock on July 1 of the reference years. For countries with only one observation, estimates for the reference years were derived using rates of change in the migrant stock in the years preceding or following the single observation available. A model was used to estimate migrants for countries that had no data.;United Nations Population Division, Trends in Total Migrant Stock: 2008 Revision.;Weighted average;

The short survey on current issues relating to migration/integration was conducted by the opinion research institute Kantar Public on behalf of the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government. During the survey period from 16.08.2023 to 22.08.2023, the German-speaking population aged 14 and over was asked about their attitudes to migration and integration in telephone interviews (CATI). The focus is on attitudes towards refugee issues, immigration and the federal government´s immigration policy, as well as general issues relating to citizenship law. Respondents were selected using a multi-stage random sample as part of a multi-topic survey (Emnid bus), including landline and mobile phone numbers (dual-frame sample).
Concerns about the current number of refugees in Germany; short-term and long-term forecast regarding the advantages or disadvantages for Germany of accepting refugees; attitude towards accepting more refugees from Ukraine; attitude towards accepting more refugees from other countries; opinion on rather simplified or rather more difficult immigration regulations for the following groups (refugees from Ukraine, refugees from Syria or Afghanistan, refugees from other countries, skilled workers from non-European foreigners); attitude towards citizenship law (German citizenship in future no longer after 8 years but after just 5 years in Germany, no renunciation of citizenship of the country of origin, no naturalization test and only basic knowledge of German if older than 67 years); agreement with statements on immigration to Germany (integration of immigrants into German society has been successful overall so far, there are already so many immigrants living in Germany that no more can be taken in, immigrants are causing a sharp rise in crime in Germany, I think it´s good that Germany is becoming more culturally diverse through immigration); satisfaction with various aspects of the German government´s immigration policy (dealing with the population´s concerns about immigration, how the objectives and measures of immigration policy are explained to the population, efforts to date to integrate immigrants into the German labor market, efforts to date to find a European solution for immigration to Europe).

The system of social indicators for the Federal Republic of Germany - developed in its original version as part of the SPES project under the direction of Wolfgang Zapf - provides quantitative information on levels, distributions and changes in quality of life, social progress and social change in Germany from 1950 to 2013, i.e. over a period of more than sixty years. With the approximately 400 objective and subjective indicators that the indicator system comprises in total, it claims to measure welfare and quality of life in Germany in a differentiated way across various areas of life and to observe them over time. In addition to the indicators for 13 areas of life, including income, education and health, a selection of cross-cutting global welfare measures were also included in the dashboard, i.e. general welfare indicators such as life satisfaction, social isolation or the Human Development Index. Based on available data from official statistics and survey data, time series were compiled for all indicators, ideally with annual values from 1950 to 2013. Around 90 of the indicators were marked as "key indicators" in order to highlight central dimensions of welfare and quality of life across the various areas of life. The further development and expansion, regular maintenance and updating as well as the provision of the data of the system of social indicators for the Federal Republic of Germany have been among the tasks of the Center for Social Indicator Research, which is based at GESIS, since 1987. For a detailed description of the system of social indicators for the Federal Republic of Germany, see the study description under "Other documents".
The data for the area of life ´population´ is made up as follows:

Agglomeration and migration: external migration, number of immigration, net migration, share of immigration from the EU in total immigration, number of asylum seekers per 10,000 inhabitants. Population density: population density, population density in independent cities, population density in large cities, population density in communities with less than 5000 inhabitants. Regional mobility: internal migration. Burden on the working population: total burden of support (inactive population ratio), burden of supporting children (children´s quotient), burden of supporting students (education quotient), burden of supporting older people (old-age quotient). Population size, growth and structure: Population size (resident population (end of year), population growth rate, natural population growth), generative behavior (net production rate, combined birth rate, mean age at first child), population structure (proportion of the population under 15 years, proportion of the population between 15 and 15). y. and 65 y., proportion of the population over 65 years of age), ethnic structure and integration (proportion of foreigners, proportion of foreigners from the European Union, proportion of marriages between Germans and foreigners, consent for foreigners to remain). Forms of cohabitation: propensity to marry (marriage rate of 35 to 45 year olds, marriage age of single people, combined first marriage rate (= total marriage rate)), importance of stability of marriage and family (out-of-wedlock birth rate, divorce rate, combined divorce rate, remarriage rate), lifestyles and family types (Proportion of single-person households, proportion of incomplete families, proportion of non-marital partnerships, families with children, families with one child, families with two children, families with three children, families with four or more children), widowhood disparity (gender ratio of widowed people aged 65 and over). year of life), subjective evaluation of the family (ideal number of children, importance of the family, family satisfaction). Household structure: contraction tendency (proportion of 3- and 4-generation households, proportion of the population in large households (5 or more people)), solitarization (proportion of the population in single-person households).

The project “Immigrants’ Children in the German and Israeli Educational Systems” studies children and adolescents with and without migration background in the educational systems of Germany and Israel. It focuses on studying recent immigrant groups stemming from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) – Jewish and Ethnic German immigrants – in comparison to “older” immigrant groups – persons with Turkish migration background in Germany and Mizrahi in Israel – and the respective reference population (Germans without any migration background in Germany and Ashkenazim in Israel). In this longitudinal study, immigrants’ decision patterns at several educational transitions in their educational careers are examined and these patterns are compared to those of the native population. There is a focus on various resources (economic, social and cultural) that a successful educational career requires as well as on intergenerational transmission of resources from parents to children.

Refugees are people who are recognized as refugees under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees or its 1967 Protocol, the 1969 Organization of African Unity Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, people recognized as refugees in accordance with the UNHCR statute, people granted refugee-like humanitarian status, and people provided temporary protection. Asylum seekers--people who have applied for asylum or refugee status and who have not yet received a decision or who are registered as asylum seekers--are excluded. Palestinian refugees are people (and their descendants) whose residence was Palestine between June 1946 and May 1948 and who lost their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. Country of asylum is the country where an asylum claim was filed and granted.

Recent migration from Muslim-majority countries has sparked discussions across Europe about the supposed threat posed by new immigrants. Young men make up the largest share of newly arrived immigrants and this demographic is often perceived to be particularly threatening. In this article, we compare pro-sociality and trust toward immigrants from Muslim-majority countries, focusing on gender differences in treatment. We study these questions using behavioral games that measure strategic (trusting) and non-strategic (pro-social) behavior. Our data comes from measures embedded in a large survey of residents of Germany's eastern regions, where anti-immigrant sentiments are high. We find that Germans are similarly pro-social toward immigrant men and women in non-strategic situations, but are significantly less likely to trust immigrant men (but not women) in strategic encounters. These findings provide evidence that immigrants' gender can be an important factor conditioning the behavior of the majority population, but also caution that (gendered) ethnic discrimination may be situationally dependent. Future research should further examine the exact mechanisms underlying this variation in discriminatory behavior.
