Projects and research interests
AMID group research project

The present research of interest concerns the integration of immigrants in the following areas:

1. Labour market. Including to which degree qualifications acquired in their homeland as well as in Denmark are used on the Danish labour market. It is also about to which degree second generation immigrants do better than their parents and whether they do as well as young Danes with similar qualifications. Another important research area is how different public initiatives like activation and education affect the possibilities of being integrated into the labour market.
   
   
2. Education. Including how to make sure that more second generation immigrants finish a qualifying education. How important is the social inheritance?
   
   
3. Residence and moving. Including which circumstances make refugees move from rural areas to the big cities and here to the problem housing areas. And how the concentration of immigrants in certain housing areas influences their integration.
