THE RECENT MIGRATORY WAVE IN GERMANY COMES FROM THE EAST

Migration to Germany from the former Soviet bloc republics has been a significant phenomenon over the past 40 years, shaped by political, economic and social changes. In this context, women have played a crucial role both as active migrants and in the impact they have had on German society. Immigration to Germany from the republics of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union has been significant in recent decades. Since German reunification, there has been a considerable increase in the number of people from countries such as Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and most recently, Ukraine. In 2024, Ukraine accounted for 41% of total immigration due to war, making this one of the major recent migration waves. Other countries such as Romania and Poland have also consistently contributed to migration flows to Germany In 2024, the proportion of women among migrants was particularly high, partly due to humanitarian arrivals from Ukraine, mostly made up of women and children With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Germany became an attractive destination for many people from the former Soviet republics due to its strong economy, political stability, and historical ties to certain ethnic groups, such as ethnic Germans who emigrated from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. In the 1980s, migration was mostly limited to bilateral agreements and humanitarian programs. In the 1990s, German reunification coincided with an increase in migrants, especially ethnic Germans who were entitled to citizenship under special laws. Many women migrated seeking to improve their quality of life, especially after the fall of the USSR, which brought severe economic crises. Many women arrived with a high level of education, but faced challenges in having their qualifications recognised and sought employment in sectors such as cleaning, elderly care or healthcare. Women from countries such as Russia and Ukraine are often well-educated, with high rates of training in medicine, engineering and science. A significant number of women from the east formed marriages with Germans, fostering cultural integration and giving rise to a multicultural generation. Migrant women helped to alleviate the ageing population in Germany. In this way they contribute to the growth of the working population and birth rate. Although they initially faced prejudice, especially in the 1990s, their contribution as workers and mothers was eventually recognised. Women from countries such as Poland, Ukraine and Russia are central to the care sector, where they often work as live-in carers. Those with advanced training have excelled in areas such as science, technology and academic research. Many female artists, writers and dancers of Soviet and post-Soviet origin have enriched Germany and continue to do so. Being part of the German cultural and entertainment scene. Learning German was one of the main initial challenges for many women, but government integration programs have significantly improved this aspect. Many had to adapt to working in less qualified jobs due to the lack of recognition of their professional qualifications. Although they have successfully integrated, some faced discrimination for being foreigners. In the last two decades, political crises in countries such as Ukraine have led to new waves of migration. The war in Ukraine in 2022, in particular, brought hundreds of thousands of women and children seeking refuge to Germany, with the majority of refugees being women. Female migration from the republics of the former Soviet bloc has transformed both migrant women and German society. These women have not only found opportunities in Germany, but have also contributed to the cultural, economic and demographic enrichment of the country. Despite the challenges, the impact of women's immigration from the East in Germany is visible in the communities where they live and work, representing a bridge between two worlds that geopolitical circumstances seem to want to push away. #openyourwindowtotheworld #TravelingIsHyperliving 🌎 Subtitles in Portuguese, Italian, German, French, Russian and English. 🔎 I am Gustavo Llusá, Argentine, after traveling for several years through more than 75 countries I settled in Latvia where I married Dace and learned to know another way of life, on the other side of the map.
