Initial Situation & Challenge „Highly qualified immigrant women from non-OECD member countries are particularly disadvantaged. In Germany, for example, the employment rate of this group is only 43% (compared to 60% for all highly qualified immigrant women and 81% for native born women with the same level of education). (…) It is likely that this is partly attributable to the problems of the recognition of qualification (…).“ „When in employment, immigrant women tend less frequently to occupy skilled jobs. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced for women from non-OECD member countries. The gap is particularly high in Spain, Greece, Italy, but also in Germany and Austria. (…) immigrant women are systematically more exposed to overqualification than native born women.“ OECD
