Migrant Integration Policy Index 2025 published – integration policy stagnates



The new Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) shows: There was only minimal progress in the EU between 2019 and 2023 (+0.8 points). Despite the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which highlighted the contribution of migrants, integration policy has largely failed to adapt – especially in terms of political participation.

Austria achieved 47 out of 100 points (+1 since 2019) and is therefore below the EU (49), OECD (56) and EU-14 average (63). Improvements were only made in the area of education (interpreting services, information systems). There are still major hurdles in family reunification (36), citizenship (13) and political participation (20).

The frontrunners are Sweden (86), Finland (85) and Portugal (81) with comprehensive integration models. In contrast, according to MIPEX, Austria only pursues “temporary integration” – rights are available, but without long-term security.

Reforms in Spain (stronger anti-discrimination laws) and Germany (dual citizenship, shortened naturalization period) are viewed positively. However, a tightening of citizenship or family reunification could make integration even more difficult.

Working together for integration and equal opportunities


On September 25, 2025, Bettina Emmerling, MSc, Deputy Mayor and City Councillor for Education, Youth, Integration and Transparency of the City of Vienna, visited us at the Counselling Center for Migrants.

Our center supports migrants and persons entitled to asylum in Vienna in many ways: We provide advice in several languages, help with job searches and training, offer special projects for women and are on hand to answer questions about residence and immigration law. We also provide support with the recognition of foreign qualifications.

A big thank you to our team, who work every day for integration and equal opportunities.
