Photo: DPAMore than half of Germans are worried about how the country will cope with immigration. The study, published by GfK Verein on Friday, shows that 56 percent of Germans are concerned about migration and integration, a clear drop from 2016 when 83 percent expressed this concern. People in Austria, Sweden, Switzerland and the US all also saw immigration and integration as the biggest challenge facing their country in 2017. Some 17 percent of Germans said they were worried about poverty, a jump of ten percent in comparison with last year. A decade ago unemployment was also the biggest worry in Germany, but in this year’s survey only 16 percent said it was a problem.
