How Can we Define Integration?

Integration is talked about all the time in Europe today but rarely defined in public debate. In this video on integration with Prof. Dr. Naika Foroutan, she gives us a primer in understanding and measuring integration in four different ways and in under four minutes. And while she’s at it, she explains how integration is different from assimilation.

 

How Can we Define Integration?

  • Four measurable fields of integration (Structural, Social, Cultural, and Identificative)
  • Shortfalls of empirics
  • Boiled-down concept of integration: acceptance, participation, and same chances in society
  • Post-migration concept of integration
  • Integration as Inclusivity in society
