Integration: What Works and What Doesn’t Work?

Integration: What Works and What Doesn't Work?

PART 6/6 OF SIX IMPOSSIBLE IDEAS (AFTER BREXIT)

The integration of refugees and migrants is a policy priority for every European government right now. However, according to Dominik Hangartner, political scientist at LSE Government, we know surprisingly little about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to integration.

Dominik’s impossible idea is that we should seek empirical answers to these questions and turn them into more effective policies. In this episode, he answers three such questions. We’ve turned them into 2-minute explainers, but should you want to read the original research, we’ve linked to that, too.

Costs of a slow asylum process
