In recent years, several European countries have adopted mandatory language and civic education requirements for immigrants with the hope that they will lead to improved integration outcomes.

This study evaluates whether these integration requirements have been successful at achieving their intended goals. Analysing immigrants' responses to the European Social Survey (2002–2015) in 15 EU member states via a difference-in-differences approach, I find that mandatory integration requirements have a strong and positive effect on immigrants' level of economic integration, but no impact on their degree of social and political integration. Supplementary evidence, which includes 23 original interviews as well as analyses of country-level data, indicates that the positive effect of mandatory integration requirements on economic integration is due to a true treatment effect rather than a selection effect. Therefore, this study suggests a differential impact of integration policy across different dimensions of immigrant integration, but overall makes a case for the adoption of robust language and civic education requirements for immigrants. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
