Block 4. Sectoral policies related to the integration

Successful integration through participation in the labour market is key at the local level. . It facilitates access to housing, and enables independence from social welfare. Also, it often enables better social integration because people can better afford leisure activities, build networks linked to labour and face less discrimination on the basis of unemployment. Consequently the city’s Integration and Diversity Monitor (Stadt Wien, 2014) stresses the aim of creating equal chances for employment for migrants and non-migrants and making use of potentials such as multilingualism, that are to the benefit of the whole society.
