The 2023 Annual Report of the Research Centre ,
Source: BAMF
The Annual Report provides an overview of the main areas of work of the Research Centre of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees in 2023. It presents both ongoing and completed research projects, as well as publications and events.
The Centre is working on the cooperation project entitled "Ukrainian Refugees in Germany", together with the Federal Institute for Population Research (BIB), the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), and the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), to investigate how displaced Ukrainians are managing in Germany, how they live, how their knowledge of German is coming along, and to what extent they are able to take up work. Several joint publications were drafted in 2023 as part of the project.
The Research Centre of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF-FZ) evaluated the implementation of the state-society pilot programme by the name of "New Start in a Team" (NesT) on the reception of particularly vulnerable displaced persons between 2019 and 2022. The research report which came out in the summer of 2023 presents the results of the evaluation.
The research project entitled "Evaluation of the Integration Courses (EvIk)" has been commissioned by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI) since 2018, and carries out research into the functioning of the integration courses, placing a special focus on the group of participants who are refugees. Interim report III was presented in 2023, and provides an insight into developments related to the integration course at the beginning of the courses.
With regard to social cohesion, new analyses were carried out on the basis of the survey entitled "Muslim Life in Germany 2020", focussing amongst other things on attitudes towards living together, or on experience with discrimination against people of the Muslim faith.
The Centre has been analysing migration to Germany by skilled workers from non-EU States for years. This has led to the implementation of a project on the functioning of the Skilled Immigration Act (Fachkräfteeinwanderungsgesetz – FEG), which came into force in 2020. The information obtained was presented to the public via a study which came out in mid-2023.
Finally, the Research Data Centre of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF-FDZ) has also made available data on vocational language courses since June 2023, and has furthermore started to provide datasets from the Research Centre's research projects. This enables the Research Data Centre to continually expand the range of data which it offers.
The Annual Report is only available in German.
