Abstract
Inability to work due to reported mental strain and psychiatric disorders is rising in Germany these days. Meanwhile the country’s net migration is positive. While there is empirical evidence for a healthy migrant effect regarding the physical health in the beginning (mostly accompanied by a subsequent convergence effect), the mental health of migrants remains partly understudied. In order to evaluate the migrant’s share in the rise of reported mental strain in Germany, 4000 employees were surveyed by means of an online access panel. About 16 percent of them revealed a migration background. Their Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) score is slightly yet significantly above the German autochthonous’ one both using bi- and multivariate analysis, indicating that there is a specific vulnerability rather than a healthy migrant effect regarding mental strain at work.

Summary
Different to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) V [1] and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 10, the new ICD-11 [2] contains the burnout syndrome (QD85). The symptoms are energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance, negativism or cynicism, as well as reduced efficacy. They have to be work related to justify the diagnosis. Version of the ICD-10 [3] contains burnout as a difficulty in coping with life (Z73). The direct and indirect costs of psychiatric disorders in Germany, which means those of healthcare, absenteeism and social security benefits, aggregate to 4.8 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
