Germany has agreed to open the doors to 250,000 skilled and semi-skilled Kenyan workers in a controlled and targeted labour migration deal.
Kenya is struggling with increasing difficulties in providing work and sufficient income for its young professionals, while Germany is facing a shortage of skilled labour.
Five Kenyan bus drivers have already been welcomed to Flensburg, in the north of Germany, in a pilot project.
Migration agreements are a central pillar in the German government’s efforts to curb immigration.
"The German government has said the deal does not specify the number of workers who will be allowed in. "
I think BBC edited the article after you posted this but I couldn’t find the 250000 number from the title.
In any case this is great news for both countries.
Wow. One German guy needs a lot of workers…
Hah nice catch. Fixed.
Based on the auto-preview thingy, it looks like it wasn’t your fault, it was the BBC’s.
Capitalism’s spatial fix.
BBC trying not to make up facts and still successfully passing as a credible news source challenge (literally impossible)
