Support Measures for Beneficiaries of Protection. Promoting their Integration into the Labour Market ,
Source: BAMF
The study examines integration and labour market related measures which aim at securing the livelihood of beneficiaries of protection in Germany.
Main results
Beneficiaries of protection have access to all passive and active labour market policies. Consequently, they can benefit from all measures that have been developed to integrate German nationals into the labour market. Furthermore, They are protected against unemployment under the same conditions as German nationals. Therefore the level of social security provided does not depend on a person's residence status, but rather on whether or not he or she is governed by the regime of unemployment insurance or of basic income support for job-seekers. Thus beneficiaries of protection can rely on the socio-cultural subsistence level as a minimum.
Furthermore the beneficiaries of protection may not only benefit from labour market policy instruments, but also from integration courses that provide extensive language training and orientation guidance. Additionally, labour market integration instruments also reach out to beneficiaries of protection in the form of the IQ network and the BAMF ESF programme. They may therefore both obtain an assessment of equivalence of their qualifications earned abroad and access special technical language training related to their occupations.
