It is known that the labor shortage will hit Germany hard in the coming years. According to a new study, this shortage will be felt in the trade, kindergarten and social work sectors.

According to a recent study by the German Institute of Economics in Cologne, IW, the shortage of labor force in 2027 will be very sensitive especially in the sales sector throughout Germany. 37,000 jobs will remain unfilled, because there will not be enough qualified workforce, it is said. "Who wants in the future to be advised by a specialized salesperson in the purchase should wait longer," the study emphasizes.

That's how big the workforce gap is even in childcare - Although the number of educators and kindergarten teachers from 2022 to 2027 will increase by 26% to 800,000 employees, the real need cannot be met as the demands will grow more. Consequence: In 2027 there will be 27,600 unoccupied places.

In terms of the needs for social and pedagogical workers, the workforce gap in the coming years will be somewhat filled, but again with 22,200 vacant positions, the lack of social workers will be the third in the list of workforce needs until 2027. After immediately listed among them are nurses and health workers with 20,300 missing forces and computer scientists with 19,000 unoccupied positions.

Thanks to the growing immigration, this shortage can be alleviated somewhat, since if this trend continues, then about 285,000 people can come to Germany as a workforce per year. "Companies today know how important foreign workers are," says IW expert and study author Alesander Burstedt. 

"Our study shows that a good integration in the market carries great chances", DPA quotes the economic expert. The study shows that it is very important to strengthen skilled immigration and faster recognition of qualification certificates from abroad. A model was prepared for the study, empirically based on the trends from 2016 to 2022 and developed further./ DW
