Der Migrationsbericht zum Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) kontrastiert die Grundkompetenzen der erwachsenen Bevölkerung mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland und im internationalen Vergleich. In Deutschland, wie auch in den meisten anderen Ländern verfügen Personen mit Migrationshintergrund im Durchschnitt über geringere Grundkompetenzen als Personen ohne Migrationshintergrund. Diese Kompetenzdisparitäten sind insbesondere durch Unterschiede in strukturellen Hintergrundmerkmalen, wie zum Beispiel dem Bildungshintergrund oder dem sozioökonomischen Status, zu erklären.

European societies are facing great challenges not only in successfully integrating large numbers of culturally, linguistically, and religiously diverse immigrants structurally (e.g. into schools or the labor market), but also in fostering the construction of new identities and preserving social cohesion. In this context, it is crucial to understand the commitment people feel to a cultural environment and the way in which such commitment develops, particularly in new cultural settings. However, there is a lack of research on identity development among adult immigrants and natives and a lack of suitable measurement instruments. To address this, we adapted the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure–Revised (MEIM-R) for application to immigrant and native adult populations and extended it to measure also national identity. Our aim in the present study was to test the psychometric properties of this new Multigroup Ethnic & National Identity Measure (MENI) in a representative sample (N = 3410) of immigrant and native adults (aged 20-72 years) in a European context, namely Germany. Results based on confirmatory factor analyses support a two-factor structure (commitment and exploration) for MENI and confirm scalar invariance across both the immigrant and native adult populations.

In recent years, Western countries have been experiencing a growing wave of immigration. Due to this development, these countries are facing great challenges in successfully integrating large numbers of immigrants and in preserving social cohesion. Research has already developed several assumptions about and models of how acculturation processes occur. The present contribution aims to investigate the relationship between the acculturation (and acculturation profiles) of immigrants and naturalization in their residence countries. Based on representative and longitudinal data, our investigation is a case study on Germany - one of the main receiving countries in recent years. Results show that acculturation in the country of residence is crucial for immigrants' motivation to take up citizenship. Likewise naturalization leads to an increase in identification with the residence country.

European countries, and especially Germany, are currently very much affected by human migration flows, with the result that the task of integration has become a challenge. Only very little empirical evidence on topics such as labor market participation and processes of social integration of migrant subpopulations is available to date from large-scale population surveys. The present paper provides an overview of the representation of the migrant population in the German Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) sample and evaluates reasons for the under-coverage of this population. We examine outcome rates and reasons for nonresponse among the migrant population based on sampling frame data, and we also examine para data from the interviewers' contact protocols to evaluate time patterns for the successful contacting of migrants.
This is the first time that results of this kind have been presented for a large-scale assessment in educational research. These results are also discussed in the context of future PIAAC cycles. Overall, they confirm the expectations in the literature that factors such as language problems result in lower contact and response rates among migrants.

Das Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) ist eine international vergleichende Studie zu Kompetenzen im Erwachsenenalter. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird das Design der Studie summarisch dargestellt und die zentralen Ergebnisse aus deutscher Perspektive präsentiert. Insgesamt zeigt sich, dass die untersuchten Grundkompetenzen, nämlich die mittlere Lese- und alltagsmathematische Kompetenz sowie das technologiebasierte Problemlösen in Deutschland, im Vergleich zu den anderen Ländern, durchschnittlich ausgeprägt sind - mit leichten Schwächen in der Lese- und leichten Stärken in der alltagsmathematischen Kompetenz. Erwartungskonform zeigen sich in allen Ländern deutliche Disparitäten in Abhängigkeit von Bildungszertifikaten. Die Grundkompetenzen sind - wie gezeigt werden kann - relevant für Arbeitsmarktindikatoren, wie die Teilhabe am Arbeitsmarkt oder das Einkommen. (Autorenreferat)

Obwohl der Anteil von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen ist, fehlte es bislang an einer systematischen (c)b-sbersicht (c)ơber diagnostische Verfahren f(c)ơr diese Zielgruppe. Das Handbuch tr(c)Þgt die verf(c)ơgbaren diagnostischen Verfahren zusammen, die derzeit f(c)ơr Personen mit Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland vorliegen. Dabei finden neben Instrumenten aus dem Bereich der P(c)Þdagogischen und Klinischen Psychologie auch Verfahren Ber(c)ơcksichtigung, die f(c)ơr die Platzierung von Migrantinnen und Migranten auf dem Arbeitsmarkt von Bedeutung sind. Das Buch richtet sich an einen breiten Personenkreis aus Wissenschaft und Praxis. Es gibt Psychotherapeut/innen, Sozialarbeiter/innen, Lehrerinnen und Lehrern, Studierenden sowie Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern einen schnellen und dennoch profunden (c)b-sberblick (c)ơber die aktuell zur Verf(c)ơgung stehenden Instrumente und stellt ausgew(c)Þhlte Verfahren in acht Anwendungsbereichen (u.A. Entwicklungsdiagnostik, Sprachdiagnostik, klinische und Pers(c)œnlichkeitsdiagnostik) vor. Die ausgew(c)Þhlten Tests und Frageb(c)œgen werden anhand eines Kriterienrasters dargestellt, das beispielsweise auch die Anwendbarkeit f(c)ơr einzelne Muttersprachen ausweist. Dar(c)ơber hinaus beinhaltet das Herausgeberwerk grunds(c)Þtzliche Einf(c)ơhrungen in testdiagnostische Grundlagen, die (c)b-sbersetzung und Adaptation von Messinstrumenten und in die Herausforderungen beim Vergleich von Bildungsabschl(c)ơssen

This paper describes datasets from two related surveys conducted in Germany: PIAAC and PIAAC-L. PIAAC is an OECD-initiated assessment that measures the cognitive skills of adults (aged 16–65 years). Around 40 countries worldwide participated in the first cycle of PIAAC. The German PIAAC data were collected in 2011/12. In the longitudinal follow-up survey to PIAAC, PIAAC-L, respondents from the German PIAAC sample were re-interviewed in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Data from both surveys can be used by researchers for a wide range of secondary analyses, for example on correlates of cognitive skills and changes and stability of these skills over the life course.

This paper describes the main features of PIAAC-L, the German longitudinal follow-up to PIAAC (Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies), and presents the PIAAC‑L data. PIAAC-L was a collaborative study by three large-scale surveys in Germany, PIAAC, the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), and the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Respondents from the German PIAAC sample (2011/2012) and the adult members of their house holds were interviewed over three waves (2014, 2015, 2016). PIAAC-L combined design features and instruments from PIAAC, NEPS, and the SOEP and included a re-assessment of basic cognitive skills. Literacy and numeracy were measured with instruments from PIAAC and NEPS and the assessment was extended to include cohabiting spouses/partners of PIAAC respondents. Interviewer-administered person and household questionnaires covered a broad range of content. The PIAAC-L data, which are available to researchers for secondary analyses, allow to explore cognitive skills over time and factors related to their acquisition and maintenance. In the German context, the study is of interest because it combined expertise and content from three national large-scale surveys.

This edited collection offers an in-depth look at the reactions of Germany and Canada - two countries that have responded to the 21st century 'age of displacement' in very different ways - and the creative solutions and often collaborative efforts these host societies have undertaken to support the sudden arrival of newcomers within their nation's borders. The migration of significantly high numbers of asylum seekers and refugees between 2015 and 2018 presented destination and resettlement societies both a sizable challenge and an opportunity to respond effectively to the imminent needs of this cohort. Germany and Canada emerged as leaders on the global stage for how they responded and the innovative ways they were able to bring together different social actors and stakeholders locally, nationally and globally. This volume is the result of an ongoing international, collaborative effort to monitor and evaluate these responses - from research to policies and practice. The objective is to mobilize knowledge produced through the latest research on key issues relating to the resettlement and integration of refugees in Germany and Canada in a timely and accessible manner. The works presented here not only show evidence based results on resettlement and integration in Canada and Germany, they also provide valuable insights that can support government agencies, service providers and members of civic society to rapidly respond to factors that threaten the wellbeing of refugees and will be instrumental to the successful integration of future cohorts. ; Dieses Sammelwerk beschreibt die Reaktionen Deutschlands und Kanadas auf das 'age of displacement' des 21. Jahrhunderts. Es zeigt Lösungsansätze und gemeinsame Anstrengungen auf, die unternommen wurden, um die seit 2015 Neuzugewanderten zu unterstützen. Zudem werden kritische, gesellschaftliche und politische Antworten auf Fluchtzuwanderung analysiert. Die Zuwanderung einer hohen Anzahl von Asylsuchenden und Geflüchteten zwischen 2015 und 2018 stellte Deutschland und Kanada zwar vor große Herausforderungen, eröffnete jedoch auch die Chance, effektiv mit den Erwartungen unterschiedlicher Interessengruppen umzugehen. Beide Länder zeigen sich als wichtige Akteure, die sich bemühen, diese auf lokaler, nationaler und globaler Ebene zu vernetzen, um geeignete und innovative Antworten auf drängende gesellschaftliche Fragen zu finden. Dieser Band ist das Ergebnis einer internationalen Zusammenarbeit, um diese Antworten und Reaktionen - from research to policies and practice - zu analysieren und zu evaluieren. Ziel ist es, neue Forschungsergebnisse zu Schlüsselthemen im Zusammenhang mit Fluchtmigration und Integration in Deutschland und Kanada zugänglich und nutzbar zu machen. Die hier vorgestellten Beiträge diskutieren nicht nur evidenzbasierte Ergebnisse zur Integration von Asylsuchenden und Geflüchteten in Kanada und Deutschland, sondern sie liefern auch wertvolle Ansätze, um öffentliche Akteure, soziale Institutionen und Mitglieder der Zivilgesellschaft dabei zu unterstützen, das Wohlbefinden und die Integration von Neuzugewanderten zu sichern.

AbstractThe United Nations High Commission for Refugees reports that more than half of the 65 million refugees and displaced people identified worldwide are under the age of 18. For this reason, researchers, practitioners and policymakers need to understand the consequences of forced migration on the integration of refugee children and youth in receiving countries. A first step to do that is to scope out the state of current research on these issues and identify possible gaps. To that end, the article offers a scoping review of peer-reviewed English and German academic articles on refugee children and youth's integration over a 20-year period. The review finds: little consensus on the definitions of 'children' or 'youth'; most studies focus on girls and boys that are between 12 and 19 years old; there is a focus on refugees landing in developed countries; and there is a lack of longitudinal and quantitative studies.
