From the article cited in the OP.

The migrant crisis is not just a humanitarian imperative, it is an opportunity. Germany has among the lowest birthrates in Europe. The population is shrinking and aging, particularly in the former East.

“I just met a refugee family with five children,” Dieter Lauinger, the state minister for migration, said. “Five children. These people could be paying our retirement.” Businesses in the region are looking for 3,000 apprentices. Electricians and builders are in demand. Doctors and teachers, too.
