Which impediments do female immigrants face when entering the German labor market?

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Job market economics, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück, language: English, abstract: Because of the high number of involuntary migrants who arrived in Germany over the past years, displaced people may at least partly counteract the economic consequences of the demographic change in Germany. Yet, particularly displaced women are comparatively seldom employed in Germany. What are the main obstacles for displaced women when they try to find an employment in Germany? How can these obstacles be overcome? In order to answer these questions, this paper will explore where the displaced women come from and what their reasons are to leave their countries of origin. It is also in the centre of interest what kind of qualifications they bring, with special regard to their educational background, professional experience and relevant language skills. Other questions to be addressed are whether displaced women want to be employed in Germany in the first place and what their future plans concerning residence, educational aspirations and employment are.
