Newly published German welfare statistics show that the given name Mohammed, when all spelling variations are combined, now appears more frequently than any other first name among recipients of the country’s citizens’ benefits program. The tally places Mohammed roughly 15,000 recipients ahead of the next-most common name on the list. The citizens’ benefits allowance, financed by taxpayers, provides monthly support to individuals who are unemployed or earn too little to cover basic living costs. The latest data reinforce demographic shifts that have been reshaping Germany’s population and labor market, feeding into the broader political debate over immigration and integration.
