ABSTRACT

We compare Germany and Singapore to see how their approaches toward talent migration governance have evolved in the last decade and whether and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected these developments. Building on the Highly-Skilled Immigration Index (HSII), our discussions show Germany becoming very welcoming of high-skilled labor migrants, and Singapore becoming increasingly selective in which labor migrants it admits into the City State. Our findings reveal that the COVID-19 pandemic has not changed the direction of policies in Germany and Singapore, but it has affected talent migration rates.

人才移民治理和 COVID-19 大流行：比较德国和新加坡

摘要

我们比较德国和新加坡，以了解他们在过去十年中对人才移民治理的方法是如何演变的，以及 COVID-19 大流行是否以及如何影响这些发展。在高技能移民指数 (HSII) 的基础上，我们的讨论表明德国变得非常欢迎高技能劳工移民，而新加坡在接纳进入城市国家的劳工移民方面变得越来越有选择性。我们的研究结果表明，COVID-19 大流行并未改变德国和新加坡的政策方向，但影响了人才迁移率。
