For decades, #AsylumPolicy research has disproportionately focused on high-income regions. Now, the @jointdatacenter is launching a tool that will help close this gap. Join us Jan 16, 4pm Geneva/10am Washington DC/7am LA for the DWRAP launch. 🔗Register: jointdatacenter.org/launch-o…

Six trend lines (DWRAP Index, Access, Services, Livelihoods, Movement, and Participation) show an upward trajectory, indicating increases in all six areas over time.

Does ad hoc language training improve the economic integration of refugees? Evidence from Germany’s...

For policymakers preparing for future refugee arrivals, this research highlights the need to balance urgency, capacity, & effectiveness in integration programming. Scaling existing, proven programs may be more effective than building large-scale initiatives from scratch. (5/6)

In contrast, Germany’s pre-existing, intensive language course did help refugees secure jobs. Already one year after starting the program, the number of refugees who held a job was 4.4 percentage points higher for those who took the course compared to those who did not. (4/6)
Figure titled Effects of Germany's Preexisting Language Program on Refugee Employment shows a scatter plot with month after course start on the x-axis and effect on employment in percentage points on the y-axis. Beginning at 20 months prior to the course start, employment remains around 0, increasing around 4 months after and reaching a high just under 0.10 percentage points at 18 months after the course start.

The researchers examined data from refugees who arrived in Germany before & after the eligibility cutoff for the ad hoc program, observing their outcomes over nearly 2 years. They find the ad hoc language program had no impact on employment. (3/6)
Figure: Effect of Germany's Ad Hoc Language Program on Refugee Employment, showing four scatter plots (depicting outcomes after 7, 12, 17, and 22 months). The two months before and after the ad-hoc language program registration cutoff (Dec 31, 2015) are plotted on the x-axis and percent employed on the y-axis. Trend lines mapped over the data points indicate employment level and direction of movement is very similar across all four charts.

Over 1 million refugees entered Germany in 2015. When established language training programs reached capacity, the government swiftly launched an ad hoc course to enroll more. This study examines the effects of the both ad hoc & a preexisting program on refugee #employment. (2/6)

📣 Neue Studie vom DeZIM, @ImmigrationLab & @iab_news zeigt: #Integrationskurse bringen Geflüchtete schneller in Jobs. Weniger intensive Angebote hatten keine vergleichbare Wirkung. Darum warnen die Forscher vor Etat-Kürzungen für Integrationskurse. 🔗immigrationlab.org/content/u…
Bei Teilnehmenden von Integrationskursen (angeboten seit 2005) zeigte sich 12 Monate nach Kursbeginn eine um 4,4 Prozentpunkte höhere Beschäftigungsquote als bei Nicht-Teilnehmenden (12 Prozentpunkte nach 18 Monaten).

Evidence from Germany's Response to the Syrian Refugee Crisis.

Deutsch-Einstiegskurse (angeboten von Oktober bis Dezember 2015) hatten jedoch keinen messbaren Einfluss auf die Beschäftigungsquote Geflüchteter. Die Einstiegskurse wurden Ende 2015 auf dem Höhepunkt der Fluchtmigration von der Bundesagentur für Arbeit rasch aufgesetzt und waren weniger umfangreich und strukturiert als die Integrationskurse.
