<\/div>[vc_column_text]Intergroup, Intragroup, and Changing Best Friendships: Implications for Prejudice and Attitudes Toward Integration in Ethnic Majority and Minority Adolescents<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

The article examines how stable intragroup and intergroup friendships during adolescence influence prejudice and attitudes toward integration. It finds that stable intergroup friendships reduce prejudice over time, whereas intragroup ones tend to maintain higher levels . Attitudes toward integration are measured using a scale based on MIPEX, which operationalises key policy areas into survey items . MIPEX is thus used as a framework to assess adolescents\u2019 support for integration policies, although these attitudes appear less affected by friendship dynamics.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

The article examines how European countries attract and integrate migrants by treating them as a strategic resource within a Macro-Talent Management framework. It compares six countries using the PROMETHEE II method, combining policy indicators with socio-economic outcomes. The findings show that strong integration policies matter more than economic power in determining a country\u2019s attractiveness. MIPEX is used as a key indicator to measure the quality of national integration policies and is included among the model\u2019s evaluation criteria. Together with Eurostat data, it helps assess the \u201cpolicy input\u201d dimension against real labour market outcomes. The study concludes that effective, rights-based policies make countries more competitive in attracting talent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]Challenges and practices of migrant integration in European Union countries: the specific cases of migrant integration into the labour market in Denmark, Sweden and Finland.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The article examines migrant integration in the EU, focusing on labour market outcomes in Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. It highlights barriers such as discrimination, language gaps, and limited recognition of qualifications. MIPEX is used as a comparative indicator to assess the strength of integration policies across countries alongside employment data. The findings show that, despite relatively strong MIPEX scores, gaps between migrants and natives persist. The study concludes with recommendations to improve policy effectiveness.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]Does the language spoken at home matter for the education and sense of belonging of the children of immigrants?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The article examines how the language spoken at home affects the educational outcomes and sense of belonging of children of immigrants across several countries using PISA 2018 data. It shows that simplistic measures of home language can lead to misleading conclusions, and that the impact of maintaining or switching language varies significantly by context. MIPEX is used as a contextual indicator to assess how supportive national education systems are for migrant integration, helping explain cross-country differences in outcomes. The findings suggest that in countries with stronger MIPEX scores, language maintenance is less associated with disadvantages. The study concludes that inclusive education policies, rather than language use alone, shape integration outcomes.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]From Integration to Attraction: A PROMETHEE Approach to Macro-Talent Management for Migrants\u2014A Comparative Analysis of European Welfare ModelsDoes the language spoken at home matter for the education and sense of belonging of the children of immigrants?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This article examines how migrant integration policies shape countries\u2019 ability to attract talent in Europe. Using a multi-criteria model, it combines labour market outcomes, administrative capacity, and policy indicators, including the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX), to rank six countries. Results show that inclusive MIPEX scores and accessible citizenship boost attractiveness, with Portugal leading, while administrative pressure and underused skills weaken countries like Germany and Greece. The study highlights integration quality, not economic strength alone, as key to talent attraction.[\/vc_column_text]
