Refugee Integration in Denmark: Success or Failure? Employment as a Guarantee of successfull Integration? The Case of Refugees from Central and Eastern Europe.

The Diploma thesis "Refugee Integration in Denmark: Success or Failure? Employment as a Guarantee of Successfull Integration? The Case of Refugees from Central and Eastern Europe." is aimed at the level of success of integration of refugees who came to Denmark during the 70's and 80's of the last century from the countries of the former Soviet block. This thesis is a case study that is based on the theoretical hypothesis of the refugee integration process. These assumptions are confronted with empirical research based on a writen survey of asylum applicants coming from former communist countries of Central-Eastern Europe. This study deals with two types of refugees and three types of economical integration. The result of the study is that the level of integration in Denmark depends on the type of economic integration of a refugee. The economic integration also has an impact on other dimensions of the process - social and cultural integration. If the economic integration is unsuccessful, then the cultural and social integration is obstructed as well. The consequence of this situation is at least in the case of the respondents, dissatisfaction with their own integration into a receiving country. These individuals do not feel like being part of the host society and want a retirement home return. Danish..
