The “win-win” migration agreement between Germany and Kenya: Who truly benefits

by Lisa Kaltner

The political balancing act between demographic development and economic hardship

On 13 September 2024, Kenya and Germany signed a bilateral migration agreement. In it, Germany opens up legal channels for qualified labor migrants from Kenya.

Kenya’s President Ruto praised the agreement a ‘win-win situation’, but who is the real winner of the agreement? Will the agreement find the right balance between the need for regulated labor migration and averting the loss of skilled labor in the country of origin?
