Abstract

Full edition for scientific use. The survey on integration of refugees and beneficiaries of subsidiary protection in Austria, which was conducted as part of the FIMAS project, provides a dataset for the analysis of labour market integration in Austria. The survey covers around 1200 refugees in five Austrian federal provinces. The survey was conducted using personal interviews (PAPI) between August 2016 and May 2017 in Vienna, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Styria and Tyrol. Target groups for the interviews were persons of working age (15-60) from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and the Russian Federation (mainly Chechnya), who had been granted refugee status or subsidiary protection in Austria in the preceding ten years.
