Varying regional outcomes from national policies<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Using newly available EU regional (NUTS-2) data from Eurostat and recent integration data from MIPEX<\/a>, the paper illustrates how investment into integration policies for a certain period of time can lead to improved integration of migrants in the areas of economic activity and education. This is particularly true in urban regions with high economic competition and ethnic diverse populations.<\/p>\n

The paper also shows that, in contrast, national integration policies are not always suitable for low-competitive and non-diverse, mostly, rural areas. National policies do not yield the same positive results for these regions as in urban areas when comparing integration outcomes for migrants.<\/p>\n

Mutual learning between EU regions<\/b><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

This research has successfully identified four meaningful groups of EU regions, categorised on the basis of regional characteristics and integration outcomes of migrants. With an understanding of where their regions fit into these groupings, regional policy makers have the potential for international mutual learning, exchange and comparison.<\/span><\/p>\n
