Migration and integration experiences of non-German European physicians in Germany
2017
This working paper presents the initial results of our representative survey of physicians working in Germany who are non-German EU citizens and who have recently immigrated to Germany (N: 1712). We address the education and training obtained by respondents by investigating the country in which they completed their medical studies and specialist training as well as their field of specialisation. We then focus on various topics relating specifically to migration, such as the reasons for leaving the country of origin or for immigrating to Germany and other factors that may have had an influence on their migration decision. Third, we provide a description of the working conditions of the non-German EU physicians surveyed, including their professional positions and conditions of work as well as subjective evaluations of the professional situation. We then describe aspects of the socio-cultural integration of European physicians, such as social networks in Germany and feelings of belonging. This working paper ends with an assessment of the non-German EU physicians´ intentions to remain in Germany or plans to immigrate to another country or return to the country of origin.
