Real-World Laboratory: Asylum Seekers
Real-World Laboratory: Asylum Seekers
“Real-World Laboratory: Asylum Seekers“ was a project jointly carried out with the Heidelberg University of Education. It focused on several potential factors that influence the integration of asylum seekers in the Rhine-Neckar region, especially in the cities of Heidelberg, Sinsheim and Wiesloch. We were interested in the impact of language acquisition, vocational training, labour market integration, decentralized housing and civic engagement on a successful integration of asylum seekers. In order to achieve this, four projects were conducted.In one of these projects, the ZEW Research Department “Labour Markets, Human Resources and Social Policy” was engaged in the task of describing the individual and contextual factors that contribute to the successful labour market integration of asylum seekers. At the core of the analysis were young refugees in need of general or specific training.www.reallabor-asyl.de (webpage in German)
