Family Reunification: A barrier or a facilitator of integration?
The AIRE Centre is excited to be participating in a transnational research programme to assess the impact of family migration legislation and policies on the integration of third country (non-EEA) nationals.
The research, entitled ‘Family Reunification – a Barrier or Facilitator of Integration?’ is funded by the European Commission INTI funding programme.
With family migration and integration high on the agenda for both EU and national administrations, this project presents an important opportunity to assess the evidence base for and impact of domestic family migration legislation across Member States.
Led by the Immigrant Council of Ireland, and involving partners from Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and The United Kingdom, the project encompasses both legal and social research. Over the course of the programme, the AIRE Centre will be conducting focus groups and interviews with policy makers, NGOs and individuals affected by family migration legislation.
