“…This measure defines successful integration as the acquisition of knowledge and capabilities necessary to establish a fulfilling and prosperous life within the host society. This integration metric, validated by several studies conducted in different contexts [e.g., 22,31], gauges integration success through two questions for each of the six dimensions: psychological, economic, political, social, linguistic, and navigational integration. For example, navigational integration evaluates the challenges immigrants face when searching for employment or accessing medical care in the host country.…”

Amidst the Ukrainian displacement crisis, private hosting of refugees in Europe has surged, yet its impact on integration remains understudied. This research investigates the effects of private hosting on Ukrainian refugee integration in Germany. Utilizing data from one of the largest non-profit matching platforms for private refugee accommodation, we compare multidimensional integration outcomes of refugees matched with private hosts with observably similar refugees who applied for private hosting but were not matched. Our findings indicate a significant improvement in the social, psychological, and navigational integration of refugees hosted privately, with no discernible effects on linguistic, economic, and political integration. This study provides causal evidence on the effectiveness of private hosting in improving refugee integration, highlighting its potential to complement traditional public asylum reception and housing systems and to leverage civil society engagement for refugee integration during humanitarian crises.

“…Hosts may also use their know-how and language skills to help refugees navigate the asylum bureaucracy and facilitate access to healthcare, education, and social services. Private hosting may also result in refugees being housed in areas that are more welcoming and diverse which can facilitate successful integration [22,23].…”

“…It implicitly meant leaving Russia's sphere of influence, which led, in the first phase, to the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula (Shevsky, 2022). Refugees are among the most vulnerable immigrant groups facing significant obstacles in their social and economic integration as they arrive with a disadvantage, having lower language proficiency and less locally applicable human capital compared to economic migrants (Aksoy et al, 2023, Marten et al, 2019.…”

This study innovates the way in which digital ethnography techniques can be applied in the analysis of complex phenomena, in this case the wave of migrants and refugees at the border between Romania, Serbia, Hungary and Ukraine, in the last two years (2021 - 2022). Thus, we regard this paper as an example of multidimensional education for both students and practitioners of media studies that struggle to address broad, transdisciplinary topics. The present research aims to present a multidimensional approach of the manner in which journalistic materials portray people who have arrived at the border between the three states in their attempt to travel further to the countries of Western Europe. Our methods consist of non-participatory content analysis on some communication products in the mass media from Great Britain and Romania, sentiment analysis and critique of professional practice. We used digital ethnography to reveal interesting data for a comparative analysis of the way different types of migrants are portrayed in British and Romanian media. The comparative analysis was conducted by using data provided by Dchipher Analytics and ZeList Monitor, ensuring a high degree of confidence in the results.

“…In a field experiment assessing the impact of job search assistance on recently arrived refugees in Germany, Battisti et al (2019) found that personalized job search assistance can enhance the labor market integration of refugees. Additionally, Aksoy et al (2023) highlight that attitudes toward immigrants are as crucial as local unemployment rates in shaping refugees' integration outcomes. Our study complements these findings by offering new insights into the impact of contemporaneous conflict on refugees' integration efforts in their country of residence.…”
