In the last decade, the study of migration policy has increasingly made use of synthetic measures, such as indicators and indexes, to compare and evaluate states’ responses to international migration. But major research gaps exist in the assessment of integration policies targeting beneficiaries of international protection (BIPs). Comprehensive, comparative data on the subject are also lacking. How can we measure and compare BIPs integration policies? And how can we evaluate their effectiveness in meeting BIPs’ integration needs? To answer these questions, this article uses the National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM), which provides a set of 173 indicators to evaluate BIP integration systems in EU member states. Following a review of the literature in the field, this paper describes NIEM’s methodology and then presents the key findings in the 2019 data for 14 EU countries. The conclusions reflect on the main contributions and limitations of the study.

辅助保护的难民和受益人：衡量和比较融合政策

近十年来，移民政策研究越来越多地使用综合衡量指标，如指标和指数，来比较和评估各国对国际移民的反应。但是，在评估针对国际保护受益人 (BIP) 的一体化政策方面存在重大研究空白。还缺乏关于该主题的综合比较数据。我们如何衡量和比较 BIP 集成策略？我们如何评估它们在满足 BIP 集成需求方面的有效性？为了回答这些问题，本文使用国家整合评估机制（NIEM），该机制提供了一套 173 个指标来评估欧盟成员国的 BIP 整合系统。在查阅了该领域的文献后，本文描述了 NIEM 的方法，然后介绍了 14 个欧盟国家 2019 年数据中的主要发现。结论反映了研究的主要贡献和局限性。
