Measures that have seen thousands of retired Germans moved into a house in Eastern Europe and Asia, has been criticized by social organizations called "brutal deportation."
But with the growing number of Germans who can not afford the price of nursing homes and the population is declining and aging, the number should be transferred abroad in the coming years is expected to increase only. Experts describe as a "time bomb".
Germany has one of the fastest aging population in the world and the movement here has implications for other Western countries, including the United Kingdom, in particular the fear that the austerity measures and rising health care costs undermine the rules of the institution.
According to the Federal Office of Statistics, more than 400,000 older people currently can not afford a retirement home in Germany, and this number is growing at about 5% per year.

"We can not allow these people who have made Germany to be what it is, return him all his life, deportation," said President VdK, Ulrike Mascher. "This is inhuman. "
The researchers found about 7146 German pensioners who live in nursing homes, in Hungary in 2011. More than 3,000 people were sent to households in the Czech Republic, and there were more than 600 in Slovakia. There are also an unknown number in Spain, Greece and Ukraine. Thailand and the Philippines are also attracting increasing numbers.
With a population of Germany provides for a reduction of nearly 82 million to 69 million by 2050, one out of 15 "of about 4.7 million people," as expected, needs attention, which is available at this problem is likely to get worse
