Studies Show Discrimination Against Muslim Job Seekers

BERLIN – Studies show that job seekers who wear hijab in Germany are much less likely to be hired, even if they have the same qualifications.

This report, published by Deutsch Welle on Thursday, December 29, examines the problem.

Germany has Europe’s second-biggest Muslim population after France, and Islam comes third in Germany after Protestant and Catholic Christianity.

It has between 3.8 and 4.3 million Muslims, making up some five percent of the total 82 million population, according to government-commissioned studies.
