Refugee Integration Webinar: Linking NIEM results to the EU Action Plan
Are you interested in refugee integration?
This Webinar unveils a policy brief (written by Migration Policy Group) which links the 2019 NIEM (National Integration Evaluation Mechanism) results from 14 Member States with the EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion (2021-2027).
To launch the policy brief, Migration Policy Group (Belgium) and the Institute of Public Affairs (Poland) organised a webinar on the 17th of September 2021. This video is the recording of the Webinar.
Specifically, it explores to what extent integration policies for beneficiaries of international protection are in line with the principles, values, and objectives of the EU Action Plan. -
MIPEX event: do integration policies matter?
You can now watch the recording of the MIPEX event: Do policies matter? Exploring the Links between Indicators of #Integration Policies and Outcomes.
Quantitative data have been used to understand the effect of migration and integration policies on migration dynamics, integration outcomes of migrants and, more generally, on the society as a whole.
This webinar addresses this topic by analysing the link between integration policies and integration outcomes of migrants. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an overview of the existing integration policies worldwide and their potential impacts on harnessing the potential for all migrants to contribute their skills to the labour market and daily life of their destination country.
The workshop brings together scholars and researchers who have conducted studies on the effect of migrant integration policies by using the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX). These studies measure outcomes in terms of labour migration and labour market participation, participation in most other areas of life as well as public attitudes.

Quality of migration data means covering more dimensions, increasing frequency and disaggregation. ⏳ Over time, this permits the detection of inefficiencies in specific areas of migration. @MPC_EUI @migpolgroup (4/5)
