Tax money for disinformation in the paradise of structural change: How Saxony-Anhalt uses migration balance to prettify its decline!“More people move in than away – thanks to structural change!” the official profile rejoices. Sounds like a boom? In reality, a cynical distraction tactic. 
A tiny foreigner surplus masks dramatic aging, declining birth rates, and unstoppable population decline. Welcome to the Potemkin village of the state government. The Facebook post by “Structural Change Saxony-Anhalt” is a masterpiece of selective perception. A positive migration balance for 11 years? Correct – on paper. In 2024, 66,166 people arrived, 53,284 left. Balance: +12,882. Of this, a hefty 11,343 come from the foreigner surplus, while for Germans it is a meager +1,539. Is this supposed to be the big proof that “something is really happening here” through new jobs in bioeconomy, digitalization, and “livable cities”? Please. The bitter reality behind the rosy balanceSaxony-Anhalt has been shrinking dramatically for decades. Since 2000, it has lost almost half a million inhabitants – around 18 percent. The total population is about 2.14 million, and forecasts continue to point sharply downward: by 2040, further massive losses, especially in the former mining districts such as Mansfeld-Südharz or Anhalt-Bitterfeld.The natural balance (births minus deaths) is catastrophically negative. An extremely aging population (one of the oldest federal states) is dying out, while too few children are being born. Migration gains from abroad only barely cushion this – they do not compensate for the demographic collapse. The post presents structural change in the Central German mining region as a “magnet for people.” In reality, a lot of money is flowing into the coal phase-out, while many rural areas continue to become depopulated. Young, qualified locals often leave because they see better prospects elsewhere. The slight domestic migration gain in Germany does not change the overall picture of a structurally overburdened region. Typical propaganda tactic
Anyone who seriously wants to understand the development in the mining region should not only read official posts, but also look at the empty villages, the aging communities, and the statistics of the state statistical office beyond press releases. More immigration alone does not create a “future in the region” if the native population is not reproducing and infrastructure suffers from decline. The structural change magnet is more of a drip: it keeps the patient barely alive, but does not heal them. Time for honest analysis instead of Facebook fairy tales.
