Immigration is also a hot topic in Germany, but they have:

- An influx of immigrants from the EU

- An influx of immigrants (from Eastern Europe) Some legal, some others, well

- Refugee influx (smaller than other countries like Italy and Spain, because of EU regulations)

But they have an easier "learning curve" , and are possibly (slightly) more open to immigration. The Turkish immigrants and their kids still face significant challenges

For 2013: Germany 1.42, Japan 1.39 (middle column). Well, small difference.
