On the other hand, almost on the same page as the article (noted above) in FAZ (dated May 27, 2009) concerning the new Germans from 113 lands being sworn in on a single day in Frankfurt was another contradictory message.
In the title of another article on the opposite page of the FAZ, one reads “Emigration Wave Costs Germany Billions” [ in German: “Auswanderunswelle kostet Deutschland Milliarden”] .

Most have moved to other OECD lands.
The author of this piece, Roland Preuss, writes that “alone in 2008 three thousand doctors left the country”.
Meanwhile, several worried German immigration institutes state that if even 1 out of every 3 of these same medical doctors fails to return to Germany some day 1.1 billion dollars in income will have permanently left the country by the time these same medics pass away.
As well, in 2007 alone some 55,000 Germans left the country to work elsewhere. Many are skilled personnel.
Disappointingly, the same article called “Emigration Wave Costs Germany Billions” ends with a paragraph noting that Germany’s civil servants are advocating that the emigration of Germans be balanced out with an attempt to persuade equally qualified applicants from around the world to enter and live in Germany.

This is clearly only a small part of the real problem that Germany faces demographically and economically if the nation state does not change its ways—and soon.
WHY DISAPPOINTING?
This is APPROACH, which focuses only on trying to replace the older German population which is emigrating from Germany, is disappointing because currently Germany has done a poor job of integrating many of its newest immigrants.
What would be the likely success if Germany did increase the number of well-educated and highly trained immigrants to replace those Germans who are leaving the land for good.

In the land of Hessen, where the city of Frankfurt is located, the children of immigrants do substantially less well in the German school systems than do the more ancient German nationals or third generations of German immigrants have.
