abstract: 'Immigrant integration is increasingly assessed through integration
|
|
|
|
outcomes, which assess the degree of convergence of the experiences of
|
|
|
|
immigrants and non-immigrants within a country. Integration processes -
|
|
|
|
for example, settlement services in key areas such as employment,
|
|
|
|
education and social inclusion - help to enhance integration outcomes.
|
|
|
|
In this paper, we use the example of the Republic of Ireland to show
|
|
|
|
that the relationship between desired integration outcomes and the
|
|
|
|
provision of settlement services needs considerably more attention. We
|
|
|
|
present immigrant integration outcomes for specific regions and groups
|
|
|
|
of immigrants derived from existing large-scale data sets. We then use
|
|
|
|
publicly available data on existing settlement services to assess the
|
|
|
|
extent to which settlement services address key areas of immigrant
|
|
|
|
integration outcomes. We demonstrate that there are considerable gaps in
|
|
|
|
the provision of appropriate settlement services that could support the
|
|
|
|
enhancement of key integration outcomes, such as the quality of work,
|
|
|
|
language proficiency and housing. If immigrant integration outcomes are
|
|
|
|
to be improved, the relationship between outcomes and settlement service
|
|
|
|
provision has to be better coordinated and targeted to address the
|
|
|
|
structural barriers faced by particular groups of immigrants and by
|
|
|
|
immigrants living in particular regions.'
