Five percent of the women in this group have left in each of the last couple of years, and if this trend lasts for a decade, that will be half of the young female population. Without some signal from the government in Berlin, such as encouraging a major employer to move to Germany, the average age of the population will grow rapidly and put a staggering weight on pension and health-care systems, Dinkel said. But Susanne Prill, a social worker who recently returned after several years' absence, said she expects the emigrants to trickle back over time. You can find a place so much more easily here, and it's good-quality care for less money. For those in their teens, that may be of little importance.
Nothing ever happens here.
