26 Evaluating the UK Resettlement Programme The UK Border Agency uses integration indicators to measure the outcomes of their resettlement programme (Gateway Protection Programme). In this model, the foundation of integration is rights and citizenship. To monitor integration, service providers are requested to report every three months for up to one year after refugees arrival, on the progress achieved using the following key indicators: 18 Means Markers Employment Housing Education Health Social Connections Part I - Resettlement and Refugee Integration Social Bridges Language and Cultural Knowledge Social Bonds Facilitators Foundation Rights and Citizenship Safety and Stability Social Links For each heading, quantitative (statistics) and qualitative information are gathered by those organisations delivering the direct integration support. For example, under the language heading, the report will include details on which level of exams a refugee has passed, or comments on how individuals can now communicate with neighbours, service providers, etc. 18 Home Office UK (2004), Indicators of Integration: final report, Home Office Development & Practice Report 28, UK.
27 The Netherlands Integration Barometer The Dutch Council for Refugees (DCfR) has been carrying out extensive research about the integration of refugees, with a periodic quantitative and qualitative survey, called the Integration Barometer 19 . The Integration Barometer 2009 has, for the first time, researched differences between refugees and migrants in relation to integration. The barometer points to a number of findings: ‣¾ In general, refugees cherish security as the main factor that promotes their sense of belonging in the Netherlands. The percentage of refugees that apply for naturalisation is significantly higher than that of other groups of third country nationals ‣¾ The start of the integration process for refugees is typically characterised as more difficult, due to the painful past experiences of most refugees ‣¾ Employment rates of refugees are in general lower than those for third country nationals. This difference disappears after around ten years. The research shows that language knowledge and national (Dutch) diplomas make a vital difference in obtaining employment ‣¾ Refugees focus on a future for themselves and their children and are quicker to learn Dutch and make Dutch friends than other migrant groups ‣¾ Government placement policy, spreading refugees throughout the country, promotes social cohesion in the Dutch communities Monitoring Migrant and Refugee Integration at the EU Level There have been various efforts to assess the integration of migrants on a European and international level. The Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) is a benchmarking initiative to measure the integration policies and practices of 25 EU member states and three non-EU member states, allowing countries to compare “how well they are doing” in terms of best practices to assist integration 20 . The index uses over 140 different policy indicators, categorised into six areas of a migrant integration: labour market access, family reunion, long-term residence, political participation, access to nationality and anti–discrimination. The MIPEX has been carried out three times, with its most recent assessment published in February 2011. 21 So far, Sweden has scored highest in all three surveys. During 2010 UNHCR and the Migration Policy Group (MPG) designed a refugee integration tool to evaluate integration policies according to the needs and situations of refugees and other beneficiaries of international protection 22 . UNHCR hopes to pilot the tool in four central European states. 19 Jeanine Klaver and Inge van der Welle (2009), VluchtelingenWerk IntegartieBarometer 2009- Een onderzoek naar de integratie van vluchtelingen in Nederland, Dutch Council for Refugees- Vluchtelingen Werk, Rotterdam. 20 Niessen, J., Huddleston, T., Citron, L.
