German Labour Minister Hubertus Heil and Brazilian Labour Minister Luiz Marinho signed a declaration of intent for “fair immigration” to promote the exchange of skilled workers.
As part of an effort to attract more skilled workers from non-EU countries to the German labor market, Germany and Brazil signed this week a declaration of intent for “fair immigration”. “I am pleased that we will intensify the partnership between Brazil and the Germany in the future,” said German Labor minister Hubertus Heil.
Heil, who is travelling through South America for several days with Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, signed the declaration together with Marinho in Brasilia. The aim is to “create fair and simplified structures to promote the mutual exchange of skilled workers”, it stated.
The main focus is on nursing, a field in which Germany faces a growing shortage. According to the German Hospital Association, there were around 14,000 vacant positions for nursing staff in clinics around Germany in 2021, with an additional 8.000 vacancies in intensive care units.
