MIPEX III
The MIPEX project is led by the British Council and the Migration Policy Group. 37 national-level organisations, including thinktanks, NGOs, foundations, universities, research institutes and equality bodies are affiliated with the MIPEX project alongside the British Council offices in 31 countries across Europe, Canada and the USA. Together we collaborate to: • Analyse trends and changes in migrant integration policy over time.
• Build recommendations to improve policies in all countries.
• Bring migrants into the debates to explain how policy changes impact on their daily lives.
• Build the capacity of policymakers,
practitioners and advocates to use the MIPEX in their work.
What’s the history of MIPEX? The first edition of MIPEX was published in 2004 and the second edition in 2007. The MIPEX has led to: • Civil society action via assessments of proposed legislation.
• Hundreds of media features in the press in
every EU Member State and internationally.
• Analysis in official documents of the European institutions, international organisations and global statistical studies.
• Debate and endorsements at the highest level including Ministers, Presidents and Commissioners.

What is the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX)? The MIPEX is a reference guide and fully interactive tool to assess, compare and improve integration policy. It measures integration policies in all EU Member States, Norway, Switzerland, Canada and the USA. Using over 200 policy indicators it creates a rich, multi-dimensional picture of migrants’ opportunities to participate in society.
What can you do with it? • Analyse seven policy areas which shape a legally resident third-country national’s journey to full citizenship.
• Examine how policies compare against the standard of equal rights and responsibilities for migrants.
• Find out how your country’s policies rank compared with other countries.
• Track if policies are getting better or worse over time. • Dig into real examples of how to improve policies. • Use it to design and assess new laws and proposals on an ongoing basis.
The MIPEX data is published as a paper publication and is available in a fully-interactive online resource at www.mipex.eu
What’s new with the third edition? The third edition of the MIPEX covers more countries and more policies. With new analysis over time it can identify the changing trends in Europe. The third edition adds: • Bulgaria, Romania and the USA.
• A new policy strand on the education of migrant pupils.
• New indicators to match new EU standards on labour market integration.
• New indicators on the implementation of policies.
