Talón de Aquiles en el motor europeo: una rémora al desarrollo en la Alemania reunificada

Resumen

En la Alemania actual, la mayor cualificación profesional de las mujeres procedentes de los Landërs del Este, junto con una intensa corriente migratoria hacia el Oeste -mayoritariamente femenina-, está provocando un importante desequilibrio en el "motor europeo". La situación está obligando al Gobierno federal a aplicar medidas de urgencia para evitar un necrosamiento económico y demográfico en la parte oriental del país, que afectaría al crecimiento global. El estudio aquí abordado muestra una relación directa del problema con las políticas sociales desarrolladas en las antiguas República Democrática Alemana y República Federal Alemana; esto es, en la Alemania anterior a la Reunificación.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the evidence, in Germany, that women from the ancient Democratic German Republic are better qualified for working than women from the Federal German Republic, in addition with the general tendency of population "“most of all female- to emigrate to the West side of the country, is provoking a complete imbalance of 'the engine of the European Union'. Therefore, the old East Landers are becoming 'overloaded' with male and lower skilled population. This situation, which is being shown by the Press and is obligating the German Government to adopt serious politic measures to resolve it, will result into a necrotic of the rate of economic and population growth if it continues. In order to analyze the origin, factor and consequences of the mentioned issue, this paper studies and compares the historical evolution of social politics applied to women and families in the Democratic German Republic and the Federal German Republic. This approach shows how the result of these politics in the new and reunified order of Germany have a strong relation to the demographic and economic problems that are suffering the East Landers of the engine of the European Union and thus the entire country.
