How well migrants integrate or settle in a new country is of interest to all migrant-receiving countries. In recent years, research and evaluation projects have investigated various aspects of settlement. This report collates the information from many of those projects and forms part of the Developing a Settlement Knowledge Base project (SKB project).
The SKB project aims to build an improved understanding across central government agencies of settlement outcomes for newcomers to New Zealand.
The project’s work programme:
- identifies outcome-related measures and indicators at a range of levels
- maps the knowledge base and identifies research gaps
- compiles evidence on ‘what works for whom and why’ in the settlement domain.
