The integration of immigrants and their native-born descendants is vital for realizing the benefits of migration and promoting social cohesion. According to the OECD, assessing the characteristics and integration outcomes of immigrants and their children is essential. The OECD, in partnership with the European Union, manages the largest available database on these topics. This resource supports the monitoring of integration policies across OECD countries and showcases effective practices.
The OECD’s work includes targeted research on groups such as refugees, migrant women, and children born to immigrant parents. It also addresses broader challenges, including discrimination, geographic segregation, language training, and the recognition of qualifications. These efforts aim to inform and improve integration policies to better support immigrant communities and their descendants.
