3. Germany
Foreign born population: 9.845.244
Almost ten million foreigners residing in Germany accounted for 11.9 percent of country’s population in 2013. Given the number of refugees that Germany took in during this year, the number of foreign born people currently living in the country is much higher. It is estimated that by the end of 2016 Germany will have around two million refugees hosted. In the country that has one of the highest median age in the world, migrants can partly compensate rapid decrease of working age population on the labor market. However, in recent months voices opposing Germany’s policy of open borders have been accumulating, and it is expected that in the future Germany will impose some restrictions on granting entrance to refugees.
