Survey on the economic and general living situation of students in Germany: study "Fachkraft 2020" {Trend! study}

Until recently - when I was designing my Bachelor's thesis - I was questioning whether current developments in the higher education sector and the resulting problem areas could be adequately recorded using the publicly accessible data. Against the background of the reforms that have now taken effect in recent years, it would actually be desirable to shed light on student life at relatively short intervals. Our “Skilled Worker 2012” study, first presented in November 2020, aims to do this in Future . change

Changing living situation of German students

As you know, studying in Germany is undergoing a fundamental change. Diploma and Magister, who in addition to the state examination previously relevant university degrees, have been replaced in the course of the Bologna Process majority by Bachelor and Master.

In addition, there is the reduction in schooling to twelve years (G8), and also that of male school leavers in the past as a phase of professional life Orientation Community service has not existed since 2011 - in combination with military service. The earlier availability of young talent on the labor market is politically desired.

The framework conditions at universities are also changing

However, it turns out that this comes with a significant change of the university framework. In any case, the number of university students in Germany has increased from 2008 million to around 2 million since 2,5.

The consequences of the current onslaught of students have recently been felt to my core. I now know how hard the steps in Lecture Hall XXV the Uni are Cologne.

Finally, we also discuss housing shortages

On the other hand, I find the discussion about housing shortages in German university cities, which has arisen, amusing. "Students in old barracks!" Is a symbolic political demand.

So it is quite possible that by reforming the German educational landscape we will end up with the Bundeswehr. Now to the point ...

Our study series “Fachkraft 2020” pursues this Objectiveto expand the scientific knowledge of the living situation of the students with current semester analyzes. STUDITEMPS GmbH, recruiter for students in student jobs, internships and social projects, initiated the analysis in cooperation with Maastricht University. The focus is on three areas:

1. General study situation
2. job situation
3. Student time management

Previous investigations on the topic

In the course of my research of scientific data on the life situation of German students, I found a number of well-founded findings, but the data is in total quite manageable.

The most extensive periodic studies on this are the social surveys of the German student union and the “Student Survey”, an education report by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). Although the social survey provides comprehensive data on the living situation of the students, it is unfortunately only published every three years.

What is special about the study

The majority of the rest of the investigations are devoted either to partial aspects of student life or not to analyze the facts in a corresponding frequency. I think, therefore, that the current analysis lacked timeliness, so trends often remained unrecognized.

Our semester-current survey on the overall university situation is of particular relevance to me, especially as a result of the recent reforms. The study specialist 2020 thus has the potential to substantially increase the level of scientific knowledge.

English knowledge of German students

Current example from the study is the high level of language competence of German students in English. In the context of this study, among 12.500 students, 51,2 gave a percentage of respondents to have an abundant knowledge of English.

Another 40 percent rated their language skills as “good”, followed by “basic skills” (7,5%) and “native speakers” (1,6%). Only 0,3 percent said they had no knowledge of English.

After studying abroad

Under the premise that the category “good knowledge” already covers the basis of unproblematic or timely linguistic integration in the respective target country, over 90 percent of those surveyed could be of interest for English-speaking countries - and vice versa.

This is supported by the result of a high willingness to go abroad after completing the academic degree: 80 percent of those surveyed see the option of the Job Search abroad as serious.

Threatening shortcomings in Germany

However, this poses a problem for the development of skilled workers in Germany. The much-cited question of skilled workers and executives will be more essential for Germany's economic performance in the coming decades Significance.

In terms of educational policy, the impending shortage of skilled workers is to be countered by an optimized university Vocational Training domestic potentials are counteracted. However, it requires the students to remain in Germany after their studies.

High willingness to work immigration

This high willingness to transnational labor migration is supported by an expert opinion from the German Council for the Integration and Migration Foundation of the year 2011.

As a result, there are more and more Boy Top executives with a migration background (especially those who grew up in Germany) willing to leave the Federal Republic permanently after their studies.

So if Germany doesn't want to be left behind in terms of well-trained specialists, then it has to Economy and act politics!
