UK: What works with integrating new migrants?
Drawing on global examples of best practice, this report explores what meaningful integration might look like; reviews international labour market, political, social and cultural integration strategies; and discusses ways of benchmarking successful integration.
Highlighting previous research, Dr Zubaida Haque shows that it is not necessarily the ethnic diversity within neighbourhoods that is causing tensions in the UK but the lack of adequate policies to help manage integration.
The report finds that for countries to achieve a well-managed immigration scheme, specific provisions are needed to integrate new migrants.
