?:abstract
  • "The recent EU 'Community statistics' initiative aims to track and improve the integration of immigrants in European societies. The European Parliament's (2007: 1) Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs recently established a benchmarking definition of integration with eight dimensions: employment, housing, health care, nutrition, education, information, culture, and equality. Official data gathered in Germany and some western European societies do not permit benchmarking of Muslims, even though the problem of their relative lack of integration has been cited as key to immigrant integration (cf. MPI, 2005; Open Society Institute, 2007). Beginning in 2004, the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) included "Islam" as one of the "confession" options in its closed ended question on religious orientation. While ALLBUS does not provide official data on Muslims' situation in German society, it does offer a rare opportunity to quantitatively benchmark those who self-identify as Muslims on the European Parliament's criteria. This project uses data from the 2004, 2006 and 2008 ALLBUS to develop indicators of these eight aspects of integration for Muslims in Germany in an effort to untangle the effects of religion from other factors such as ethnicity and citizenship. By identifying gaps in integration between Muslims and non-Muslims, our study offers policymakers an opportunity to design public initiatives aimed at alleviating inequalities and improving social cohesion."
