Immigrants in Germany earn significantly less than non-immigrant citizens, with a wage gap of 19.6 percent for first-generation immigrants. A multinational study spanning nine high-income countries found that much of the gap is due to limited access to better-paid jobs rather than direct discrimination. Although the wage gap narrows for second-generation immigrants, they still earn 7.7 percent less than native peers. The study indicates that structural barriers contribute majorly to the persistence of wage discrepancies across generations in various Western nations.
