Jobs or Migration?
An African Perspective

In a historical context, migration is the norm of our history that cannot be prevented, but must be shaped proactively. This process needs to be evolved in cooperation between Africa and Europe. Germany is a key actor in this context. We will talk facts on migration and discuss the discrepancy between them and public misperceptions in Europe. Furthermore, we will shed light on the driving factors of African migration, debate how to generate a robust employment market trend and how to manage the population growth. Through this intercontinental discourse between African and European experts, we will consider how to shape migration in an intelligent and human way.
