Data for monitoring integration: Gaps, challenges and opportunities

Abstract

This report maps the availability of quantitative data on immigrant integration in Ireland. It gives an overview of data collected by the Central Statistics Office in large repeated surveys; administrative data on immigration held by the Department of Justice and Equality; and data held across a range of government departments on ‘mainstreamed’ integration. The analysis does not cover every possible source, but identifies key opportunities, gaps and challenges for the future use and collection of data on integration outcomes.
