Migration und Integration
Bei dem Thema Einwanderung nach Deutschland gilt es auch die Bedingungen einer gelingenden Integration von Zugewanderten in Gesellschaft, Bildung und Arbeit zu untersuchen. Die Arbeitsmarktforschung beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie die Integration in das Bildungs- und Ausbildungssystem, der Zugang zum Arbeitsmarkt sowie die Bedingungen der sozialen Teilhabe und kulturellen Integration verbessert werden können.
Aktuelle Studien zeigen zudem, dass Deutschland angesichts seiner demographischen Herausforderungen dringend auf Zuwanderung angewiesen ist. Inwiefern kann Zuwanderung der Schrumpfung und Alterung des Erwerbspersonenpotenzials entgegenwirken? Welche Entwicklungen in der nationalen und europäischen Einwanderungspolitik begünstigen die Einwanderung von Erwerbspersonen und Fachkräften? Die hier zusammengestellte Literatur bietet einen aktuellen und umfassenden Überblick über den Themenkomplex Migration und Integration.

The migrant-native ‘equilibrium’ in Western European labour markets: a long-term analysis (2026)
Zitatform
Avola, Maurizio, Giorgio Piccitto & Federico Vegetti (2026): The migrant-native ‘equilibrium’ in Western European labour markets: a long-term analysis. In: Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, S. 1-21. DOI:10.1080/1369183x.2026.2620584
Abstract
"Research on the migrant penalty in European labour markets reveals a significant gap between migrants and natives across various outcomes, which appears to be linked to specific features of the labour market structure. As the proportion of low-status jobs increases at the regional level, a trade-off ‘equilibrium’ emerges between migrants’ likelihood of being employed and the quality of the jobs they hold, compared to natives. This study aims to explore whether the Great Recession has altered this migrant-native equilibrium. To address this, we analyze EU-LFS data from 13 countries and 140 European regions, examining three distinct periods: pre-crisis, during the crisis, and post-crisis. Our findings indicate that during the economic downturn, this equilibrium shifted, weakening the trade-off between employment probability and job quality. Furthermore, the shift continued in the post-crisis phase, suggesting that the Great Recession may have triggered a structural transformation of the migrant-native equilibrium in European labour markets, rather than just a temporary adjustment."

“Maybe I Say Something, I Understand a Bit”: On the (In)Accessibility of Translation (2026)

Bella, Natalie (2026): “Maybe I Say Something, I Understand a Bit”: On the (In)Accessibility of Translation. In: Social Inclusion, Jg. 14, S. 1-19., 2025-11-10. DOI:10.17645/si.10962
Abstract
"Working with interpreters is common in qualitative social research. It can even be necessary when researchers address the perspective of people with whom they do not share a lingua franca. Interpreters are then brought into the research endeavor to enable a communication setting that would otherwise be impossible. Following the theme of enabling communication, the dominant perspective on interpreted interviews suggests that there is only one person involved in the interaction - the Interpreter - who can understand and speak both languages. This perspective falls short as it relies on a monolithic understanding of refugees as perpetually removed from (the linguistic requirements of) their new surroundings. However, when people have visited language courses or have otherwise been exposed to the language of their new contexts, they are gaining ground as agents of translation. Thus, the interactional dynamic of the interpreted interview changes drastically as the interviewee can participate more in how they and their stories are interpreted. Faced with the varying language proficiencies of the interviewees, the interpreter adapts their strategies of interpreting. Drawing from narrative interviews with refugees from Syria, collected at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), this article explores the question of how the interviewees’ language proficiency influences the interpreted interview, as it is rooted in situated performativity. Focusing on the interactions between all three participants, three empirical constellations highlight the relevance of acknowledging the performative density of translating and interpreting collaboratively."

Falkenhain, Mariella (2026): 'I needed this journey': home visits in wartime as transformative events. In: Journal of Refugee Studies, S. 1-15. DOI:10.1093/jrs/feaf088
Abstract
"This article examines how Ukrainian refugees experience wartime home visits. Relying on in-depth, repeated interviews with Ukrainian refugees in Germany, the article explores a state of in-betweenness that characterizes these individuals’ lives shortly after arrival, particularly by disrupting their sense of belonging and capacity to imagine the future. During short-term home visits to Ukraine, the visitors acquire a feel for life in war that is associated with complex feelings of alienation, disillusionment, and futurelessness. This experience helps individuals overcome subjective states of the in-between and move forward in life, irrespective of the persistent structural limbo related to temporary protection. Considering migrant home visits as transformative events advances recent debates about liminality and protracted displacement. It also has important implications for longer-term processes of social inclusion." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © Oxford University Press) ((en))

Determinants of refugees’ generalised and institutional trust: evidence from Germany (2026)

Kanas, Agnieszka, Frank van Tubergen & Yuliya Kosyakova (2026): Determinants of refugees’ generalised and institutional trust: evidence from Germany. In: Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Jg. 52, H. 1, S. 85-104., 2025-05-28. DOI:10.1080/1369183x.2025.2514800
Abstract
"This paper examines the factors shaping refugees’ institutionalized and generalized trust, focusing on three key influences: (1) pre-arrival migration effects, such as experiences of trauma; (2) asylum procedure effects, including the length and outcome of the process and perceptions of fairness; and (3) post-procedure effects, particularly the context of reception. Using data from the IAB-BAMF-SOEP survey of refugees in Germany, we find that the conditions of the asylum process and the reception context are critical determinants of refugees’ trust. Specifically, while the length of the asylum process and living in shared accommodations negatively affect institutional trust, these impacts are largely mediated by other refugee-specific experiences, such as perceptions of procedural and interactional justice. Receiving a positive asylum decision directly enhances refugees ’ trust in German institutions and other people, whereas being trapped in existential limbo severely erodes trust levels. Additionally, refugees subject to residency restrictions exhibit lower institutional and generalized trust levels than those without such limitations. These findings highlight the critical role of short and fair asylum procedures and inclusive reception policies in fostering trust among refugees, with significant implications for improving integration outcomes and social cohesion."

Abstract
"Die Lebens- und Bildungserfahrungen von Frauen mit „Gastarbeiterinnen“geschichte sind bislang selten Gegenstand von Forschung gewesen, zumal aus einer erwachsenenpädagogischen Perspektive. Dies nimmt der Beitrag zum Ausgangspunkt und analysiert anhand intersektionaler Ansätze und sozialräumlicher Perspektiven, welche Aktionsräume Frauen mit „Gastarbeiterinnen“geschichte nutzen, wie sie diese mit Blick auf ihre Bildungsbiografien und gesellschaftlichen Selbstpositionierungen interpretieren. Methodisch basieren die Ergebnisse auf elf problemzentrierten Interviews, ausgewertet im Hinblick auf Alter, Migration und Geschlecht und deren Verwobenheit mit Aktionsräumen. Zwei Fallbeispiele zeigen, wie sich Relationen von Vulnerabilität und Handlungsfähigkeit, von Diskriminierung und Emanzipation in den Selbstpositionierungen verbinden. Migration, Alter und Geschlecht werden dabei als komplexe Konstellation verstanden, die sowohl Diskriminierungserfahrungen als auch empowernde Prozesse umfassen können. Die Ergebnisse betonen die Bedeutung sozialräumlicher Zugänge und intersektionaler Perspektiven für das Verständnis der gesellschaftlichen und bildungsbezogenen Teilhabe älterer Frauen mit Migrationsgeschichte. Abschließend erfolgt eine Diskussion der Möglichkeiten, diese Perspektiven für zukünftige Forschungen und Handlungsansätze zu nutzen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

The Labor Market Challenges and Coping Strategies of Highly Skilled Second-Generation Immigrants in Europe: A Scoping Review (2025)
Zitatform
Achouche, Noa (2025): The Labor Market Challenges and Coping Strategies of Highly Skilled Second-Generation Immigrants in Europe: A Scoping Review. In: Societies, Jg. 15, H. 4. DOI:10.3390/soc15040093
Abstract
"This scoping review investigates the labor market challenges and coping strategies of highly skilled second-generation immigrants in Europe who, despite their educational and professional accomplishments, face persistent barriers related to ethnic, cultural, and religious identities. Synthesizing existing literature, the review examines obstacles to the economic integration of highly educated children of immigrants, highlighting both their perceptions of these barriers and the adaptive strategies they employ. A systematic search was conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, and EBSCOhost to identify studies published between 2010 and 2024. The selection process followed a structured five-stage framework, including defining research questions, identifying and selecting relevant studies, charting the data, and synthesizing findings. A total of 1192 records were initially identified, with 1022 retained after duplicate removal. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 68 studies were included in the review. Findings indicate that hiring discrimination, occupational segregation, and exclusion from elite professional networks remain key barriers, particularly for those of Muslim background. Despite achieving professional success, many continue to encounter symbolic boundaries that limit career advancement. In response, second-generation professionals adopt various coping strategies, including ethnic niche formation, entrepreneurship, and transnational mobility, to navigate labor market disadvantages. Challenging traditional assimilation narratives, findings reveal that professional success does not guarantee societal acceptance, as ethnic and cultural identities continue to pose significant barriers. The review concludes by identifying key research gaps, advocating for further exploration of organizational practices that perpetuate ethnic inequalities within high-skill professions, and examining transnational mobility as a coping strategy for second-generation elites. Future research should explore how gender and ethnicity intersect to shape career trajectories for second-generation women. Additionally, expanding research beyond the predominant focus on Muslim professionals to include other religious and ethnic groups would provide a more comprehensive understanding of how identity markers influence labor market outcomes. Finally, as demographic shifts reshape European labor markets, comparative studies should assess how different institutional and cultural frameworks influence patterns of inclusion and exclusion for highly skilled second-generation professionals."

Abstract
"This paper investigates whether xenophobic attitudes, as measured by the regional share of votes for right-wing parties and xenophobic violence, affect migrants’ choices of where to live in Germany. We use a unique panel data set for the period 2004 to 2017 and apply fixed effects regression models and instrumental variable estimation to examine the relationship between anti-immigrant attitudes and immigration. Our results indicate that xenophobic attitudes tend to reduce regional labour immigration. However, evidence seems to be more robust for the support of right-wing parties than for xenophobic violence. Regarding heterogeneous effects across skill groups, the findings are ambiguous. While the immigration of skilled workers seems to be more sensitive to xenophobic violence, evidence is more robust for the share of right-wing votes in the case of low-skilled foreign workers. The strength of the adverse effect of anti-immigrant attitudes tends to increase with the local size of the coethnic community." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © PLoS ONE) ((en))

Abstract
"This study examines the impact of immigrant integration programs on low-literate refugees, focusing on the Norwegian Introduction Program (IP). Like other obligatory integration courses across Europe, the IP aims to promote active participation and economic self-reliance, but its effectiveness for vulnerable groups remains debated. Through semi-structured interviews with IP participants, we investigate how these programs both help and hinder integration for low-literate refugees. Our findings reveal that while the IP improves language skills and employment opportunities, it simultaneously impedes other aspects of integration, such as educational advancement and feelings of belonging. Three key hindrances emerge: a hierarchical course structure, arbitrary evaluation practices, and program trade-offs forcing difficult choices between education and employment. These features devalue prior skills, create barriers to early income gains, and reproduce deficit identities and inequalities among vulnerable participants. We conclude with policy recommendations to mitigate the risk of replicating inequalities, suggesting alternative programs and metrics of integration success more suitable for those lacking initial resources. This research contributes to the ongoing debate on the long-term effects of integration programs on low-literate refugees, a critically important yet understudied group."

Abstract
"This paper examines the relationships between cultural identity and immigrants’ likelihood of finding employment during economic crises. Drawing on Italian data from the Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens (SCIF) survey, we develop a multidimensional measure of cultural identity that incorporates both self-identification and observable factors. The analysis reveals that cultural identity significantly affects employment outcomes, with dual identity (where immigrants maintain both their identity of origin and adopt aspects of the host country’s identity) proving to be the most beneficial for securing employment, even in a labour market constrained by an economic recession. This effect is evident for both men and women, although it is more pronounced among women. Based on these findings, policies that discourage the preservation of one’s original identity are not justified if the goal is to enhance immigrants’ success in the labour market. This studyhighlights the necessity of policies that promote cultural integration while also supporting cultural diversity." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Population change in Germany at the subnational level is particularly driven by changes in net international migration and shifts in internal migration flows between urbanisation, suburbanisation and counter-urbanisation. Official population projections at the county level use a single scenario, thereby omitting uncertainty that arises from changing patterns in the assumed components of demographic change. We use a cohort-component model that incorporates the spatial distribution of a net number of international migrants and internal migration matrices to provide population projections for 401 counties in Germany until 2070, encompassing nine total international and internal migration scenario combinations. Our results show a full potential outcome space of future subnational population change in Germany and highlight the variability in this possible change in terms of population structure, size, and spatial distribution. Across the scenarios, the total population of Germany is projected to be between 74.25 and 86.84 million people in 2040 (83.4 in 2023). There are also considerable differences in how the total population and its distribution might change spatially, both between urban and rural areas and in age structure. Thus, depending on the assumed absolute level of net international migration and the direction of internal migratory patterns we, highlight how internal and international migration patterns will continue to play a large role in future population development in Germany at the county level."

Abstract
"This study examines the labour market outcomes of second-generation migrants in 32 countries (30 European countries, Australia and the United States of America). Drawing on data from labour force surveys and other household surveys contained in the ILO Microdata Repository, it focuses on labour force participation, unemployment, status in employment, wages and self-employment income. The results of the analysis reveal differences between second-generation migrants and other people born in the same country once the specific composition of that population group in terms of age and educational attainment is taken into account. Second-generation migrants generally exhibit lower labour market participation and higher unemployment rates, and they appear more likely to be employees than self-employed in several of the countries studied. With regard to earnings, on average across the countries studied, a small wage gap is observed between second-generation migrant workers and the rest of native-born workers, with wage premiums existing only in a few countries. The final chapter discusses relevant legal frameworks dealing with non-discrimination and employment that affect second-generation migrants." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Most studies on the labor market effects of immigration use repeated cross-sectional data to estimate the effects of immigration on regions. This paper shows that such regional effects are composites of effects that address fundamental questions in the immigration debate but remain unidentified with repeated cross-sectional data. We provide a unifying empirical Framework that decomposes the regional effects of immigration into their underlying components and show how these are identifiable from data that track workers over time. Our empirical application illustrates that such analysis yields a far more informative picture of immigration’s effects on wages, employment, and occupational upgrading."

Abstract
"Auf Basis der Daten der German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS) untersucht der Beitrag Ausmaß und Folgen der internationalen Migration deutscher Arbeitskräfte. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es kaum zu dauerhaften Verlusten kommt, sondern die Abwanderung deutscher Fachkräfte ins Ausland vielfach ein temporäres Phänomen ist. Die allermeisten Ausgewanderten kommen nach einigen Jahren zurück. Diese zirkuläre Migration geht häufig einher mit verbesserten Arbeitsbedingungen (Lohn, Aufstiegschancen, Autonomie) im Ausland ebenso wie nach der Rückkehr nach Deutschland. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass die Rückgewanderten neues Wissen und neue Fertigkeiten mit nach Deutschland bringen, wovon auch und gerade Unternehmen profitieren sollten. Allerdings kommt es insgesamt zu einem Nettoverlust von Arbeitskräften, der sich für einzelne Berufsgruppen unterschiedlich darstellt. Gleichwohl ist gemessen am Gesamtvolumen der Berufsgruppen dieser Verlust von untergeordneter Bedeutung. Hier gilt es, in Zukunft stärker die Abwanderung ausländischer Fachkräfte in den Blick der Forschung und des politischen Interesses zu rücken, die quantitativ wesentlich bedeutsamer sein dürfte."

Abstract
"Asylum seekers who migrate from developing countries to Europe frequently experience victimization events during their journey. The consequences of these events for their economic integration into destination countries are not yet well explored. In this paper, we analyze how victimization during asylum seekers’ journeys affects their labor market integration in Germany by using survey data collected in the aftermath of the 2015 refugee crisis. Our data allow us to account for the exact timing and geography of migration, such that samples of physically victimized and nonvictimized refugees are balanced along a wide range of characteristics. We find that, compared to nonvictimized refugees, refugees who were physically victimized during their journey to Germany favor joining the labor force and taking up low-income employment rather than investing in host country human capital. To explain these findings, we explore a range of potential mechanisms and find suggestive evidence that experiencing physical victimization in vulnerable situations is not only associated with a decline in mental health but also with a “loss of future orientation” among physically victimized refugees, leading them to discount future payoffs more heavily."

Abstract
"This article examines the impact of fixed-term employment on subjective well-being among natives, migrants and refugees in Germany and the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. Utilizing longitudinal data from 2016 to 2021, we employ fixed-effects panel models and mediation analyses. We find that refugees experience stronger negative effects of fixed-term employment on their well-being than natives and migrants, especially shortly after their arrival. For migrants and natives, subjective job insecurity significantly mediates these effects, while it is less relevant for refugees. Our results indicate that it is essential to acknowledge the heterogeneous effects for vulnerable groups when studying the impact of fixed-term employment. During their integration process, refugees encounter complex labour market challenges which can pose threats to their subjective well-being. Therefore, we suggest engaging more in debates about non-standard forms of employment and taking aspects of the quality of employment into account when designing integration measures for this group."

Abstract
"Dieses Papier analysiert die Rolle der Gesundheit für die Arbeitsmarktintegration von Geflüchteten in ihrem Zielland. Wir nutzen die quasi-zufällige anfängliche regionale Verteilung von Geflüchteten über Stadt- und Landkreise in Deutschland, um den kausalen Effekt der Gesundheit auf die Beschäftigung zu analysieren. Basierend auf regionaler und zeitlicher Heterogenität bei der Einführung einer Reform, die einen früheren Zugang zu Gesundheitsleistungen durch elektronische Gesundheitskarten (eGKs) ermöglichte, in Kombination mit der regionalen Verfügbarkeit von Gesundheitsdienstleistungen und dem Gesundheitszustand vor der Migration, konstruieren wir Instrumentalvariablen (IVs), die plausibel exogene Variationen im Gesundheitszustand der Geflüchteten nach ihrer Ankunft liefern. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ein guter körperlicher Gesundheitszustand (PCS) die Erwerbstätigkeitswahrscheinlichkeit von Männern verbessert. Gleichzeitig erhöht ein guter psychischer Gesundheitszustand (MCS) die Erwerbstätigenquote von Frauen, wobei dieser Effekt aufgrund schwacher Instrumente mit Vorsicht zu betrachten ist. Hinsichtlich möglicher Mechanismen zeigen wir, dass eine bessere Gesundheit die Teilnahme an Sprachkursen und die deutschen Sprachkenntnisse von weiblichen Geflüchteten erhöht."

Abstract
"Am 8. Dezember 2024 veränderte der plötzliche Zusammenbruch des Regimes von Bashar al‑Assad die politische Landschaft Syriens und die Rückkehraussichten für Millionen von im Ausland lebenden Syrern abrupt. Wir nutzen diesen unerwarteten Regimewechsel als natürliches Experiment, um die kausalen Auswirkungen der Entwicklungen im Heimatland auf die Ansiedlungs‑und Rückkehrabsichten von Flüchtlingen zu schätzen. Auf der Grundlage neuartiger Umfragedaten aus Deutschland, die nur wenige Tage vor dem Sturz Assads erhoben wurden, stellen wir fest, dass der Zusammenbruch des Regimes die Ansiedlungsabsichten der Syrer in Deutschland erheblich beeinflusste. Befragte, die danach befragt wurden, äußerten eher temporäre Niederlassungsabsichten, gaben eher an, Auswanderungsüberlegungen zu haben, und äußerten eher Unsicherheit über ihre Zukunft in Deutschland. Wir finden jedoch keine Auswirkungen auf konkrete kurzfristige Auswanderungspläne, was darauf hindeutet, dass die erhöhten Rückkehrwünsche eher zukunftsorientierte Absichten als unmittelbare Verhaltensänderungen widerspiegeln. Weitere Analysen zeigen, dass Rechtssicherheit in Deutschland und eine schwächere soziale oder emotionale Integration mit einer stärkeren Präferenz für einen vorübergehenden Aufenthalt korrelieren."
