Refugees in Germany : Why they come, what they bring with them and which experiences they make

Abstract

"The study presents findings from a qualitative survey of 123 refugees from 13 countries, who arrived in Germany between May 2013 and December 2015. The findings suggest that most of the interviewed refugees were individually affected by wars and persecution, that they strongly support values such as democracy and human rights, and that they have a strong orientation towards work and education."
