Özet:

 One of the most discussed social problems in Germany in recent years is its aging population and labor shortage resulting from this demographic change. One of the solutions developed to close this gap is the Skilled Migration Act enacted in 2023. This article examines how the labor market influences skilled immigration policies by analyzing this law as an example. It investigates this relationship by focusing on how the concepts of expertise and qualification, which are both central concepts of migration studies and the sociology of labor and are included in the name of the law in its original language, have transformed through this law. Using the case study method, the article evaluates this change as an illustrative example of the migration policies developed by countries in the global race for skilled migrants. The definition of these concepts in Germanys immigration policies has been stretched in line with the needs of the labor markets. This transformation shows that skilled migration policies can be shaped contrary to anti-immigrant discourses.

 Almanyanın son yıllarda en çok tartışılan toplumsal sorunlarından biri yaşlanan nüfus ve bu demografik değişime bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan iş gücü açığıdır. Bu açığı kapatmak için geliştirilen çözümlerden biri 2023 yılında çıkartılan Nitelikli İş Gücü Göçü Yasasıdır. Makale, bu yasa örneği üzerinden iş gücü piyasasının nitelikli göç politikalarını nasıl etkilediğini incelemektedir. Bu ilişkiyi hem göç çalışmalarının ve çalışma sosyolojisinin merkezi kavramlarından olan hem de yasanın özgün dilindeki isminde yer alan uzmanlık ve nitelik kavramlarının bu yasayla birlikte dönüşümüne odaklanarak araştırmaktadır. Makale vaka analizi yöntemini kullanmaktadır ve bu dönüşümü ülkelerin nitelikli göçmen çekmek için girdikleri küresel yarışta geliştirdikleri göç politikaları konusunda açıklayıcı bir örnek olarak ele almaktadır. Bu kavramların Almanyanın göç politikalarındaki tanımı, iş piyasalarının gereksinimleri doğrultusunda esnetilmiştir. Bu dönüşüm, nitelikli göç politikalarının göçmen karşıtı söylemle tezat oluşturur şekilde biçimlenebildiğini göstermektedir.
