Summary/Abstract:

The Immigrant Integration Barometer survey was conducted within the framework of the project Center for Documentation and Research on Immigrant Integration, funded by the European Fund for the Integration of Third Country Nationals and implemented by the Romanian Association for Health Promotion (ARPS) and the Open Society Foundation (Foundation). The Immigrant Integration Barometer (BII) is a tool that analyzes the extent to which Romanian society values and facilitates the social inclusion of immigrants, especially those from outside the EU. In 2014, the study is in its second edition. The first edition (2013) is available free of charge on the Open Society Foundation website. The Immigrant Integration Research and Documentation Center project is scheduled to run for three years. In each of these years, the research component is taken up within roughly the same conceptual framework, developed in the first year (2013), with refinements, taking into account lessons learned in the previous year and feedback from the immigration research and practice community. Thus, at the end of the three years, the outcome of the research will be a robust, field-tested tool for assessing society's openness to immigrants and at the same time we will have a measure of the progress made throughout the project.
