German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Cabinet has approved 30 measures to promote immigration from India, aiming to address the shortage of skilled workers in Germany. The lack of skilled workers is seen as a threat to innovation and economic growth in the country.

German Labor Minister Hubertus Heil emphasized the need for qualified labor to boost economic dynamism. The government plans to target sectors such as health, IT, and construction where there are significant gaps in the workforce.

Germany’s focus on India is strategic, given the country’s vast labor pool and growing demand for skilled workers. The government aims to streamline the migration process by introducing a digital visa and offering support services like job fairs and German language classes.

Labor Minister Heil praised the influx of Indian skilled workers into Germany, citing it as a success story. The statistics show a significant rise in the number of Indians employed in skilled positions, highlighting the positive impact of this migration on the local economy.
