The Research Institute for Migration and Forced Displacement Management (FORM) will host its first Research Talk at WU Vienna on Monday, 11 May 2026 at 4:00 p.m.
Rainer Münz will give a research talk entitled:
“Who arrives? Who stays? Who seeks and finds work?
Migration and integration from the perspective of selected individual-level data available for Austria”
What has become of the approximately 1.7 million immigrants of foreign origin who arrived in Austria over the past ten years? This lecture seeks to answer this question on the basis of available data from official statistics, the Public Employment Service (AMS), the Federal Ministry of the Interior, and social insurance providers. The period under review spans 2014 to 2024. These years were shaped not only by a high level of intra-EU mobility under freedom of movement, but also by substantial family reunification and by flight and forced displacement of people from Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Ukraine.
Rainer Münz is a researcher at the Complexity Science Hub (Vienna) and teaches at the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna. He is a member of the Expert Council on Integration at the Federal Chancellery and serves as an advisor to the European Commission on issues related to the assessment of future migration movements.
