Saxony-Anhalt Approaching Critical Point, According to IG Metall - Consultation of the Commission on the proposed draft guidelines.

In the heart of Germany, the region of Saxony-Anhalt finds itself at a critical juncture, facing significant demographic changes that could potentially impact its economic and social future. According to IG Metall, the regional leader for Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, nearly 13 percent of employees in the region are over the age of 60, with many soon retiring, leading to a predicted workforce shortage.

This demographic shift, IG Metall asserts, poses a tangible risk. The organisation perceives Saxony-Anhalt as being at a tipping point, and the debate on migration has become a key economic question. IG Metall views immigration as a strategic instrument that could help secure the region's economic future, particularly in sectors like construction, industry, retail, and care, where a massive personnel exodus is expected within a few years.

In response, IG Metall calls on politics to develop a state program that addresses these challenges. The strategic political goals, as proposed by IG Metall, aim to implement a program that understands migration as a strategic instrument to secure the economic future of Saxony-Anhalt. Without migration, the region risks significant personnel losses, which could have far-reaching implications for the region's economy.

Currently, Saxony-Anhalt holds the national record for upcoming retirements, making the need for a solution all the more pressing. IG Metall states unequivocally that without immigration, Saxony-Anhalt will lose personnel, and the region could face dire consequences as a result.

In conclusion, the issue of migration has taken centre stage in Saxony-Anhalt as the region grapples with the challenges posed by demographic changes. IG Metall's call for a state program that embraces immigration as a strategic solution to secure the economic future of the region underscores the urgency of finding a solution to this pressing issue.
