德国的人口呈现减少与老化趋势，劳动力的减少势必需要加强引入外来移民，尤其是高技能人才。然而，外国移民的到来给德国社会带来了诸多挑战，尤其是有关穆斯林融入问题的讨论，伴随着扎拉青的激进言论，在2010年达到了一个高潮。而且，德国右翼激进分子使用暴力的倾向在加强。另外，虽然德国失业人数近年来持续减少，但由于众多工作都是在低工资部门，因此德国的贫富差距在扩大，贫困问题明显加剧。
German population has shown the trend of decreasing and aging,which inevitably requires more immigrants,especially those with high working skills.However,foreign immigrants have brought great challenges to the German society,whereas the discussion on muslims' integration reached its peak in 2010 with Sarrazin's radical rhetoric.And,the tendency that the German right-wing extremists use violence is on the increase.Besides,even if the number of unemployed in Germany has been decreasing continuously since recent years,a huge amount of positions come from the low-income sector,which has broaden the gap between rich and poor in Germany,and the problem of poverty has also worsened obviously.
