Prior studies have not investigated the role of occupation-specific degrees acquired in the home country for labor market success in Germany. There is a lack of understanding of the association between occupational specificity and labor market outcomes. The study aims to fill this gap by providing new insights into the labor market integration of immigrants in Germany.

Future studies should investigate the role of occupation-specific degrees acquired in the home country for labor market success in other countries. Research should focus on developing strategies for recognizing and valuing foreign occupation-specific degrees. Studies should analyze the impact of immigration policies on labor market integration of immigrants.
