The row over agency nurses conties in the UK meanwhile;
A German study has shown the nursing industry suffering from migration laws and attitudes: Germans need more foreign nurses to care for an aging population, but 61 percent of nursing homes have vacancies because of unwillingness to fill the vacancies with migrant workers. The study comes as Angela Merkel used a "citizens dialogue" event she joined to say that Germany is "becoming a country of immigration,"
Too slowly it seems. Just one in six companies tries to recruit across borders, and most justify this saying “the process is too complex, too expensive, and entails too many legal hurdles.” More than 60 percent of those who have tried to recruit abroad encountered problems with qualification recognition and getting permits for selected workers, according to the Bertelsmann Foundation, which funded the study.
WHAT PRICE, COMPASSION? FINLAND COUNTS COST OF REFUGEES: Finland would take 792 refugees under the EU Commission's proposed quotas. The country's Ministry of the Interior has calculated the net cost to the country would be €10 to 12 million. That is €12,600 to €15,100 per refugee on top of the €6,000 aid offered by the Commission for every adopted refugee.
This is the other side of the immigration coin. Overseas workers are needed in the UK.
