Commission and OECD present report on the local integration of migrants

The report, a joint initiative of the European Commission and the OECD, is part of a broader effort to support the social and economic inclusion of migrants in EU societies. 9 large European cities (Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Berlin, Glasgow, Gothenburg, Paris, Rome and Vienna) and the smaller German town of Altena were studied to assess how they met this objective ‒ what was done, what worked and what could have been done better.

The report provides a checklist for public action in the field of migrant integration. It outlines 12 key points for local, regional and national policy-makers and practitioners to consider as they develop and implement local integration programmes.
