Title State support and its absence in the integration of refugees in Austria
Summary The research question, investigated in thesis is How state support influences integration? I chose Austria, where a remarkable number of refugees arrived after 2015. The nine provinces of the country have different local policies. Among them, Vienna is a special case where in addition to the national integration program an Integration from day 1 policy is implemented, meaning early intervention and increased state support. We know little about the actors and the processes of integration policy. I made six interviews to unfold the insight in refugee integration, and found that facilitators: teachers, NGOs, volunteers, networks, legal advisors etc. play a crucial role in social inclusion and integration. The earlier integration starts, in terms of interaction and social inclusion; and the more state support facilitators receive the faster and more successful integration becomes.
