Theoretical background and objectives

After more than half a century of mass immigration to Europe, the consequences of increasing ethnic diversity in Europe are far from clear. More specifically, one of the prominent questions on today’s research agenda is how ethnic diversity affects social cohesion and attitudes towards immigrants. This project aims to contribute to answering this question.

Die Bundesregierung hat sich im Nationalen Integrationsplan zur Umsetzung eines Integrationsmonitorings verpflichtet, das die Entwick­lung der gesellschaftlichen Integration in Deutschland auf einer soliden empiri­schen Basis beobachtet und damit ein evidenzbasiertes Instrument zur Steuerung der Integra­tions­politik zur Verfügung stellt. Geeignete Indikatoren sollen anzeigen, inwieweit die sozia­len Prozesse einer umfassenden Integration von Migrantinnen und Migranten fortgeschritten sind. Gradmesser ist das Maß an Chancengleichheit in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen.
