Project Summary

Project goal:
«Develop new methods for integration of young women with immigrant background into the labor market».
Background: Migration to Europe has given rise to new challenges in the last 50 years and especially after the refugee crisis in 2015. European countries need to translate the skills that migrants represent; in such a way, that immigration is as sustainable as possible. Women are particularly vulnerable to marginalization, negative social control and social exclusion from the big community. This is also important in relation to lasting poverty reduction. Especially when we know that women’s attitude toward work and education affects children’s attitude towards education and achievement at school. Therefore, when the mothers succeed, there is also a greater likelihood that the children will succeed.

Target group:There are two target groups in this project. Firstly, the target group for the intellectual outcome of this project is employees and volunteers in the private, voluntary and public sector, who have as their mandate or goal to integrate women in the age group 15-30 years of immigrant background in the labor market. Integration towards the labor market ment to ensure that women qualify for adequate language and work skills. So that they have a greater opportunity to take work and get a work career. Not depending on social welfare. So the intellectual outcome of this project will aim to give better and more diverse integration methods for the second target group of this project; the unemployed women with immigrant background mean women in the age group 15-30 who have immigrated to the EU and the EEA, with low or unknown education from countries outside the OECD.
