Migration and integration are often in the headlines.
There's a real need for evidence-based strategies to manage integration, labour market access, and social cohesion.
An innovative study called ‘Employment and Wage Assimilation of Male First-Generation Immigrants’, published in 2001, is still being used today to shape labour and migration policy across Europe.
• The research has helped shift public discussions from viewing immigrants as an equal group to understanding the nuanced challenges faced by refugees.
• It stresses the economic value of integration and the cost of exclusion, influencing both welfare policy and public sentiment.
It’s why the Danish Government, the European Union and the Migration Policy Institute are all applying insights from the study today.
Without the research, this wouldn't have been possible.
