Annual Monitoring Report on Integration 2010

Abstract

This Integration Monitor, the first of its kind in Ireland, seeks to measure migrant integration in four life domains – employment, education, social inclusion and active citizenship. The indicators follow those proposed in the Zaragoza Declaration, which aim to be comparable across EU Member States, based on existing data and focused on outcomes. The indicators are drawn from the latest available large-scale surveys in Ireland, and allow us to compare outcomes for Irish and migrant populations in each domain. This report also contains a special theme: immigrants in the workplace. Given the range of indicators presented here for the first time, particularly on social inclusion, active citizenship and immigrants in the workplace, we hope the Monitor can make a substantial contribution to understanding in the area.
