The chart depicts the number of immigrants to Germany in 2000 and 2010, categorized by region.
As can be seen from the graph, the vast majority of migrants to Germany came from Europe in 2000, with precisely 30 million, closely followed by America, standing at around 23 million. In addition, Oceania and East Asia had nearly the same number of immigrants to Germany in 2000, both taking up about 15 million. In contrast, Africa and South Asia stayed at a low level with just over 5 million.
Interestingly, the figures of immigration in 2010 show similar patterns. Germany was still a popular destination for the Europeans, making up 25 million, while more people in Oceania and East Asia moved to Germany, representing 23 and 24 million respectively. However, much fewer Americans migrated to Germany compared to 2000, dropping to merely 13 million in 2010. It is also apparent that the numbers for Africa and South Asia almost remained unchanged during this period, while the former saw a slight increase to 7 million in 2010.
To sum up, Germany was a prevalent destination for immigrants from Europe and East Asia in 2000 and 2010, whereas it was less attractive for people in Africa and South Asia.
