The Integration of Immigrants Programme is a five year research programme led by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers from Massey University and the University of Waikato and funded by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology.
Immigrants are a vital aspect of New Zealand’s future. Their successful integration into our economy and society is of critical importance both to their personal experience of settlement and to the wellbeing of New Zealand as a whole. This programme explores how immigrant employees and business owners utilise their skills and experience as they settle in New Zealand.
The research combines leading edge conceptual and methodological approaches, both quantitative and qualitative, to better understand the economic integration of immigrants into New Zealand society.
