"Study: third of Turks in Germany are poor
Big News Network.com Wednesday 6th April, 2005 (UPI)
A Center for Turkish Studies report said Wednesday one-third of the 1.9 million Turks in Germany live below the poverty line, Deutsche Welle reported.
The study said another 35 percent live just narrowly above the poverty level.
The researchers blamed the numbers on Germany's economy and the collapse of that nation's coal and the steel industries.
Researchers say Turks have difficulty finding jobs in other sectors due to poor education and training. The center called on German politicians to promote the importance of education and training among Turkish immigrants."
