What natural transitions has Germany experienced since 120?

The population pyramid is a chart depicting the gender and age distribution of the population in the shape of a pyramid. In the past 30 years, the top of Germany's population map has gradually widened and the bottom has gradually narrowed, transforming from a "pyramid" to a "diamond".

From the external factors such as "gender" and "age", this change means that Germany is aging more and more seriously, because there are fewer and fewer newborns at the bottom and more and more elderly people at the top, regardless of gender. But this is only one aspect of demographic change. Just as the real treasure is hidden in the pyramids of Egypt, it is equally important to explore the internal diversity of population structure changes, and the German Federal Population Institute has also done corresponding research.

Population structure (by immigrant background and; Age division)

Yellow represents Germans without immigrant background, green represents Germans with immigrant background, and blue represents foreigners in Germany.

In Germany, more than a quarter of the population (about 22 million people) have an "immigrant background". In the past 15 years, the number of young people with immigrant background or foreign youth in Germany has greatly increased. In 2005, about a quarter of children under 10 had an immigrant background, but now almost one in every two children has an immigrant background.

The proportion of foreigners aged 35-50 with immigrant background or in Germany has also increased. This may be because people who immigrated to Germany before are old. From 2005 to 20021,the proportion increased from 16% to about 34%.

Encouraging foreign immigrants is one of the important measures to alleviate the aging population in Germany, which is reflected in the new immigration policy just adopted on July 6, 2022. On the one hand, it gives German "tolerant residents" the opportunity to obtain permanent residence faster, on the other hand, it relaxes the family conditions of skilled workers immigrants.

Population structure (by educational background and; Age division)

The darker the color, the more difficult it is to obtain this degree.

In China, we emphasize rejuvenating the country through science and education. Germany also attaches great importance to education. In the past few decades, the academic qualifications of Germans have been continuously improved.

199 1 year, most Germans have primary school or pre-service education, and only 20% of men and 13% of women have high school diplomas. However, in 20021year, the number of people with primary or pre-vocational education decreased significantly, and 45% of men and 48% of women obtained high school diplomas.

What about Germans after graduating from high school?

As of June165438+1October, 2020, official website counted the situation of Germans after graduating from high school. As shown in the following figure, 33.5% of Germans obtained the qualification of university entrance, 46.6% chose further vocational training, and 18.5% of Germans finally graduated from university.

Although the survey found that in 20021year, 5% of Germans still didn't get any academic qualifications, we have to admit that Germany is trying to make a profit.
