New OECD-Publication on migrant integration analyses the work of Network IQ

Migrant integration requires comprehensive and coordinated action across government levels and the policy fields of labour, education, housing and health. A recent paper from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) analyses approaches from five different countries that aim to achieve this, including the "Network Integration through Qualification (IQ)".

The paper entitled "Multi-level governance for migrant integration" was published by the OECD’s Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities. It analyses policy approaches from Austria, Canada, France, Germany and Italy, which aim to improve coordination between the public and private sector and to resolve information asymmetries.

In their inquiry, the authors provide an overview of the structure, methodology and output of the Network IQ. They emphasise the coordinative strengths of the programme, which closes information and capacity gaps through networking and the transfer of good practice. Recommendations are made to cooperate more closely with the private sector, pay more attention to territorial differences and to transfer good practices more systematically.
