Are there still people living in East Germany, I mean who didn't move to the wealthier West? And if yes, why aren't industries and everybody moving their factories and whatnot to cheaper centers? Because all they do is offshore? I understand offshoring has capped, maybe they'll finally notice what's directly under their noses...
- lispm 3y agoYes, there are people living in East Germany. The larger cities (Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, ...) are doing kind of okay, but the less populated regions struggle a lot and people are moving away. > Because all they do is offshore? Germany can do nearshore, since there are countries next/near to Germany with lower wages/costs, which at the same time are in the European Union. A common large economic region (the EU and its associated countries) makes nearshoring attractive. Thus "East Germany" is often in competition with other EU countries for new factories.
