60 Minutes Online Discussion "Migration"

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 we facilitate the integration of migrants into the labor market and society? What tasks and responsibilities do the federal, state and local governments 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)

Moderation: Christian Leßmann (TU Dresden, Chair of Economics, esp. International Economics)

Format: Online
You can follow the discussion live in Zoom. The event will be recorded and will be available as a video in the media library and on the ifo Institute's youtube channel a few days after the event.
