01 August, 17:11
(ANSA) - TRIESTE - Official statistics show that the number
of people in Germany with an immigrant background rose 8.5% last
year to a record 18.6 million, powered by the influx of refugees
and other migrants recorded in 2015 and early 2016. The Federal
Statistical Office said last year's figure marked the fifth
consecutive record. Germany has a population of 82.4 million.
The office defines people with an immigrant background as those who either weren't born as German citizens themselves or have at least one parent who wasn't. (ANSA).
