Integration of Immigrants in the Eu_15: Success or Failure?

Abstract

In 2015, the so-called migration crisis culminated in Europe. Although immigration can bring along many benefits (labor force, cultural diversification), it constitutes a challenge for fiscal policy if immigrants fail to integrate. This paper examines the level of integration in the EU_15 on the data from Eurostat in period 2009 to 2018. The results show that immigrants who were not born in the EU_28 were significantly worse off in terms of the unemployment rate and the risk-of-poverty rate than the host society. Immigrants born in the other EU_28 country were not significantly worse off on the labor market, but the at-risk-of-poverty rate was significantly higher in comparison with the host society. The data didn't confirm that share of immigrants with tertiary education (both from the EU_28 or outside the EU_28) was significantly lower than the share of the tertiary educated population in the host society. The level of integration of immigrants did not got worse after the migration crisis. Furthermore, the results showed a considerable difference in the degree of integration between EU_15 countries.

Influencia de las TIC en el rendimiento escolar de estudiantes vulnerables

“…Cabe destacar que la integración exitosa comienza por el sistema educativo y esta situación se enfrenta de manera diferente en cada país (Coin, 2017;Kogan, 2016), también guarda relación con el nivel de desarrollo económico del país de origen (Huddleston, Niessen y Tjaden, 2013). En otras palabras, la integración educacional es una referencia importante en la integración de estudiantes inmigrantes en las sociedades de acogida (Zubíková, 2019). No obstante, existen barreras relacionadas con la adquisición de la lengua del país de acogida, la cultura y la falta de formación del profesorado para enfrentar estos nuevos retos (Esteban, 2020;Manning y Roy, 2010).…”

Public funding in R&D and R&D outcome sustainable development: Analysis of Member States EU

“…Considering the developments over the recent years, particularly since the onset of the conflict in Ukraine, it becomes imperative to engage in discussions regarding the labour force that could potentially be mobilized for the execution of research and development (R&D) initiatives in the context of sustainable development. Zubíková (2019Zubíková ( , 2020, through her analytical assessment of integration levels within EU nations, ascertained that during the period from 2009 to 2018, the proportion of individuals possessing tertiary education within the foreign-born population was, on average, even higher compared to that within the native (host) population. Nonetheless, the degree of integration and the calibre of the foreign labour force in scientific research sectors require ongoing empirical scrutiny due to continuing migration pressures into EU Member States.…”

Review of the Construction Labour Demand and Shortages in the EU

“…However, it is interesting to note that there are outliers in unemployment rates of third-country nationals in some developed member states (i.e., Spain, France, Sweden, Greece). A key stimulus for migration is the movement of people from areas with low productivity into areas of high productivity of labour [48]. In adjusting labour migration policies to labour market policies workers arriving from third countries should be unquestionably and systematically taken into account.…”
