Nov 13: Online discussion 60 minutes "Migration: How to manage immigration and facilitate integration?"

In Germany, there are sometimes emotional debates on the topic of migration. The recent state elections in eastern Germany in particular were dominated by this topic. We want to discuss this topic on the basis of scientific findings. What types of migration are there? Can migration be controlled? How can the integration of migrants into the labor market and society be facilitated? What tasks and responsibilities do Federal and State governments and municipalities have in this context?

In discussion:

• Prof. Panu Poutvaara, Ph.D. (Director of the ifo Center for Migration and Development Economics and Professor of Economics, in particular Comparative Institutional Economics, LMU Munich)

• Prof. Dr. Hans Vorländer (Director of the Center for Constitutional and Democratic Research and the Mercator Forum Migration and Democracy, TU Dresden and Chairperson of the Expert Council on Integration and Migration) )

Moderation:
Prof. Dr. Christian Leßmann (Chair of Economics, in particular International Economics at TU Dresden)

The discussion takes place on November 13, 2024 at 6:15 p.m. via Zoom. The language of the event is German. The discussion will be recorded and then uploaded to the ifo Institute's YouTube channel. More information and zoom link
