MIPEX – The Migrant Integration Policy Index 2006-2007

MIPEX measures policies to integrate migrants in 25 EU Member States and three non-EU countries. It uses over 140 policy indicators to create a rich, multi-dimensional picture of migrants’ opportunities to participate in European societies. MIPEX covers six policy areas which shape a migrant’s journey to full citizenship: labour market access, family reunion, long-term residence, political participation, access to nationality and anti-discrimination. Best practice for each policy indicator is set at the highest European standard, drawn from Council of Europe Conventions or European Community Directives (where these are only minimum standards, European-wide policy recommendations are used). Since policies are measured against the same standards across all Member States, MIPEX is a ‘benchmarking’ tool to compare performance. This book is a quick-reference guide to Europe’s integration policies. The extensive dataset is searchable on the MIPEX website.
