Jan 31 (Reuters) - Germany is still an attractive destination for skilled
workers from abroad, although migrants report racism and discrimination in
everyday life, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
said on Wednesday.
Having tracked the careers of 30,000 highly qualified people who wanted to come
to Germany as migrant workers since August 2022, their willingness to move to
the country had increased rather than decreased over the time, the OECD said.

Some 92% of participants in its poll lived abroad and were still interested in
moving to Germany, it added.
However, people who had already moved to Germany reported more discrimination
than expected before the move.
"Experiences of discrimination are reported, especially when looking for
accommodation and in public," the OECD's Thomas Liebig said.
More than half of respondents who managed to move to Germany said they had been
subject to discrimination as a result of their origin when they were trying to
rent or buy a flat or house.

That fear was lower, at around a third, for those who have not yet made the
transition.
Around 37% of respondents also reported incidents of discrimination during
visits to restaurants or shops.
Germany's economy largely depends on foreign workers, which was highlighted by
fresh figures from the country's Federal Employment Agency.
Figures for November showed that a 0.6% rise in the number of employees subject
to social security contributions to 35.1 million was mostly due to workers from
countries outside the European Union.

"This also applies if we exclude the refugee countries Ukraine, Syria and
Afghanistan. This trend is likely to continue," said Andrea Nahles, chair of the
Federal Employment Agency.
