Labour Market Integration of Refugees in Austria (SUF edition)

Full edition for scientific use. In 2015, Austria was one of the EU countries that received the most refugees in relation to its population (including Sweden, Hungary and Germany). One urgent concern for the integration of these migrants is for them to quickly achieve economic independence by integrating them into the labour market. Successful labour market integration depends not only on formal requirements, most notably recognized qualifications and language skills, but also on the extent of integration into other areas of society, including the integration into social networks or the identification with Austrian norms and values. This is the starting point for the present project which investigates the labour market integration of refugees and the interrelation of economic, social, and cultural integration using a standardised survey combined with a number of expert interviews and problem-centered interviews among newly arrived refugees.

供科研使用的完整版数据集。2015年，奥地利是欧盟内按人口比例接收难民最多的国家之一（瑞典、匈牙利与德国均在此列）。针对难民融入的一项迫切议题，是通过将其纳入劳动力市场，使其快速实现经济自立。劳动力市场的成功融入，不仅依赖于资质认证、语言能力这类正式准入要求，更与其在社会其他领域的融入程度密切相关——包括融入社会网络，或是认同奥地利的社会规范与价值观念。本项目即以此为研究起点，通过标准化问卷调查结合针对新近抵达难民的多场专家访谈与问题导向访谈，探究难民的劳动力市场融入状况，以及经济、社会与文化融入之间的相互关联。
