Employment Integration at Any Cost?: Germany's 2016 Integration Act and Social Mobility
Abstract
This chapter discusses Germany's 2016 Integration Act, specifically the “Flüchtlingsintegrationsmaßnahmen” [Refugee Integration Measures], or abbreviated, the FIM program, as a case study to explore how integration measures affect social mobility of persons seeking protection. The chapter draws on interviews with 28 persons seeking protection (including refugees, otherwise protected, and asylum-seekers) and 10 representatives of non-governmental organizations working in the context of forced migration in Stuttgart and Regensburg, Germany. The collected data speaks to perceptions, challenges, and opportunities of the FIM program, as well as experiences of discrimination. By analyzing this empirical data and situating it in discourse on social mobility, the author shows that employment integration ‘at any cost', as exemplified by the FIM program, reinforces social disintegration and ethnic stratification.
