Evaluation

Integration results are monitored closely, both by the Government and independent researchers. Key figures and statistics can be found on the Government’s “Integration Barometer”. In general, the integration of refugees has been improving, especially for the group of refugees arriving since 2014. An increasing number have become self-supporting and have learned the Danish language. The second generation (children of immigrants or refugees) have a high rate of education; young women with backgrounds from five nationalities have even reached a higher level of education and self-support than young Danish women.

The “IGU” education project launched in 2016 has also proved to be a success (Evaluation Report 2018). However, refugees and immigrants still have a lower and less stable connection to the labour market than Danes.
