Abstract

Migrants are overrepresented in urban areas. Therefore, it seems reasonable and wise to pay attention to their integration policy, especially when globalisation puts societies worldwide under increasing pressure. This research gives an overview of the most important measures at the domains of language, education, labour participation and intercultural relations in the Dutch cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Groningen from 2010 to 2016. It also explores the assumptions of policy makers that underlie these measures. Finally, the research also gives an indication of the factors that are likely to influence the integration policy of these cities, like politics, economy and the local integration context. The study has a qualitative research design and uses policy documents and interviews as main sources of data.
