The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung EU-Office will host an online event to present the report, From landing to arrival. Mapping subjective integration of immigrant population across Western Europe, by sociologists Vera Messing and Bence Ságvári.

The public discourse about migration and migrants in Europe has been extremely vivid since 2015. But do we know what migrants themselves think and feel? How satisfied are they with institutions in their host country and how much do they trust them? Do their attitudes and values really differ from the host societies’ attitudes and values, or are the differences negligible? Do they feel included or excluded in their new home? How attached do they feel to the host country and do these feelings and perceptions depend on their origin, on the host country’s environment or their time of arrival? Do emigrants’ attitudes and values differ from those of their compatriots who stayed in their country of origin?

The report’s authors switched the perspective from that of the host society to the perspectives of migrants themselves. They analyse the European Social Survey’s extensive dataset, focusing on 13 Western European countries.

The report will be presented online through Zoom on 25 May 2020 at 16:00 (Brussels time). For registration, please visit the FES website.
