The aim of this paper is to diagnose skilled migration between Algeria and Germany in the context of the global race of talents. The osmosis theory of human migration has been adopted to demonstrate that skilled migration is not significantly different from global migration movements. Moreover, the results have shown that migration between the two countries is guided by the natural determinants of human migration. In the same vein, borders permeability diagnostics have shown that networks are weak and control policies are severe. Despite this low selective permeability, expectancy of young Algerians to migrate to Germany is very important. This paper has been concluded by an overview about the evolution of German language learning in Algeria, which can be an efficient tool to strengthen migration networks and, consequently, make borders more permeable and skilled migration more beneficial.
