Centre for Public policy PROVIDUS, Latvia, has published Learning to welcome: the integration of immigrants in Latvia and Poland, a publication that includes research about the legislation that influences the integration of immigrants – labour-market access, family-reunification conditions, anti-discrimination and political participation. The first part of the publication includes a review of EU standards and national policies found favourable for promoting these integration principles, based on the Migrant Integration Policy Index. This part also compares the state of integration policies in Latvia and Poland in a European context. The second part consists of a research paper on the integration of immigrants in Latvia, and the third part includes a study on the integration of immigrants in Poland.
The full text of the publication is available online at the PROVIDUS website:

The project is implemented by the Center for Public Policy PROVIDUS in Latvia, the Institute of Public Affairs in Poland, and the Migration Policy Group in Belgium.
