The marked increase of asylum seekers arriving in Western Europe after 2014 has renewed debates on policy measures that countries should put into place to support their integration. Although implemented by many countries in recent years, research has neglected the effect of integration policy reform packages combining economic and social policy measures on asylum-related immigrants’ adjustment processes. Exploiting a comprehensive integration policy reform in Switzerland, using survey data from the Health Monitoring of the Swiss Migrant Population, and registering data on the whole asylum-related population, our difference-in-differences analyses reveal that provisionally admitted individuals benefiting from the reform have higher employment probability, increased income levels, better language skills, and feel less lonely or without a homeland relative to comparable asylum seekers who did not benefit from the reform. Robustness checks assessing common pre-reform trends support our findings, which highlight the importance of evaluating entire reform packages when assessing integration policies’ effectiveness.

一体化政策改革的效果如何？与庇护相关的移民案例


2014 年之后抵达西欧的寻求庇护者人数显着增加，引发了关于各国应采取哪些政策措施来支持他们融入社会的争论。尽管近年来许多国家都在实施，但研究忽视了结合经济和社会政策措施的一体化政策改革方案对庇护相关移民调整过程的影响。利用瑞士全面的融合政策改革，使用瑞士移民人口健康监测的调查数据，并登记整个庇护相关人口的数据，我们的双重差分分析表明，受益于改革的临时入境个人与未从改革中受益的同类寻求庇护者相比，就业可能性更高、收入水平提高、语言技能更好、感到不那么孤独或没有祖国。评估改革前常见趋势的稳健性检查支持了我们的研究结果，这凸显了在评估一体化政策有效性时评估整个改革方案的重要性。
