The overqualification rate in Germany particularly affects people without German citizenship, with a difference of over 19 per cent compared to German employees. One of the main reasons for this is the slow recognition of foreign educational qualifications or discrimination based on origin in the application process. As a result, a large proportion of foreign workers end up in low-skilled jobs despite their education, with this now affecting almost 69 per cent.
