Involuntary migration, inequality, and integration: national and subnational influences

Across the world, we observe different experiences in terms of inequality between migrant and 'host-country' populations. What factors contribute to such variation? What policies and programmes facilitate 'better' economic integration? This paper, and the broader collection of studies that it frames, speaks to these questions through focused comparative consideration of two migrant populations (Vietnamese and Afghan) in four Western countries (Canada, Germany, the UK, and the US).
