Research projects focusing on integration
The focus is on the description and analysis of the social developments caused by integration in Germany. In addition, contributions to its development are made by evaluating integration support measures (e.g. integration courses).
Implementation of studies and surveys
Projects covering the following topics are dealt with:
- implementing quantitative and qualitative studies about the integration of specific target groups (e.g. female migrants, Muslims, refugees, imams),
- implementing representative questionnaires to evaluate integration measures (e.g. integration panel)
- implementing quantitative and qualitative studies focusing on specific aspects of integration (e.g. naturalisation behaviour).
Reporting on integration
Another focal point is constituted by integration reporting on the basis of the evaluation of official data and business statistics, of data from own surveys as well as of data from other research institutions (analysis of secondary data).
There are the following foci of investigation:
- describing and analysing the integration status of various migrant groups (e.g. integration report)
- monitoring reporting on integration
- developing integration indicators
