IW Study: Iranians exceptionally well integrated into German job market - Iranian migrants in Germany outperform peers in jobs and pay
Iranian migrants in Germany show strong labour market performance compared to other immigrant groups. New figures reveal higher employment rates, better qualifications, and above-average earnings. The data also highlights differences between Iranian men and women in the workforce.
Among working-age Iranian nationals in Germany, 58.6% hold jobs. This rate stands out when compared to broader immigrant employment trends. A notable 43.3% of employed Iranians possess university degrees—more than double the 19.5% figure for other foreign workers.
Earnings also set Iranian migrants apart. On average, they take home more than other immigrants in the country. Their professional roles reflect this: roughly 73% work in skilled positions. For Iranian women, the employment rate reaches 41%. While still lower than that of Iranian men, it exceeds the 39% average for other immigrant women. The figures come from recent labour market analyses, though no direct comparisons with the past five years were available.
The data underscores the economic integration of Iranian migrants in Germany. Their higher education levels, skilled occupations, and earnings place them above many other immigrant groups. However, gaps remain between male and female employment rates within the community. No long-term trends were provided in the current findings.
