Summary
In this episode, we look at a key question:
Why do many highly qualified people with a migration background work below their actual level of qualification?
The study by Franken and Kowalski shows that Germany has a large potential of well-educated professionals – but this potential is often not fully used.
The reasons include problems with the recognition of qualifications, a lack of professional networks, and structural barriers in the labor market.
As a result, highly qualified people often work in jobs that do not match their skills.
The study makes it clear that integration into the labor market does not depend only on individual performance, but is strongly influenced by existing structures and access to opportunities.
