Analysis of the DIW
Refugees feel less and less welcome
Between 2015 and 2017, a lot was talked about in Germany about “welcome culture”. That later subsided. The refugees also perceived a changed atmosphere.
According to a long -term study, the feeling of being welcome has decreased in refugees living in Germany. This is shown by an analysis by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) in Berlin. The researchers had asked the refugees the question for their investigation: “Do you feel welcome in Germany today?” While 84 percent of those surveyed in the year in 2017, the proportion was only 78 percent in 2020 in 2020. According to the study, only 65 percent of the refugees felt welcome in 2023.
Long -term study takes a look at all those seeking protection
Statements of refugees from Ukraine and Turkey were not taken into account in the analysis, according to the DIW. As part of the study, people were interviewed annually between 2017 and 2023 who made an application for asylum or temporary protection in Germany from 2013 to September 2022, regardless of whether their application was successful.
The authors see a connection between the public debate about restrictive migration policy measures – for example to facilitate returns – and the sunken feeling of welcome. “In addition, in 2023 there was a high level of group -related misanthropy and an increased visibility of migration -critical positions in political discourse,” the analysis said.

As can be seen from the results of the study, many people who have come to Germany as those seeking protection are now worried about the social climate. When the DIW asked the question in 2016 and 2017: “Do you worry about xenophobia and xenophobia in Germany?”, 32 percent or 29 percent of the refugees reported such worries. According to the study, there were more than half of the refugees (54 percent) in 2023.
Health of children immigrants
The DIW also examined whether children born in Germany of refugees differ from other children. They come to the conclusion that children perform refugees in language, social relationships and motor skills aged two to four years worse than children from other mothers – with and without migration history.
The reason for this is factors such as the mental health of the mother, her level of education and her employment. In the case of everyday skills, the children of mothers with migration history performed better overall – possibly the result of a more pronounced independence of children in everyday life, for example with simple household tasks such as tablecloths or tidying up.
