The German Federal Law on Integration
The German Federal Law on Integration

Summary/Abstract: The German Federal Act on Integration of 2016 is a political reaction to the migration crisis of 2015. It aims to facilitate the integration of refugees into the German society. Its guiding principle is that of ‘support and challenge’: Refugees who have good prospects of being allowed to stay permanently will be eligible to take integration courses and to take advantage of job and training opportunities sooner than before. However, they are also required to work on their own integration. If they do not meet their duties to cooperate their benefits will be curtailed. In this article we deal with provisions regulating the legal status of migrants in the complex process of integration.
