Calculations are based on microdata from the European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS), coordinated by Eurofound. The survey aims to represent the population of all residents in a survey country aged 18 or older.
The question considered is question Q27a from the 2012 EQLS survey in the EQLS Integrated Data File, 2003-2012: On a scale of 1-10, to what extent do you agree with the statement 'immigrants are not integrated in our society'? 1 Immigrants are not integrated in our society; 10 Immigrants are well integrated in our society.
The indicator is calculated as the mean score on the scale out of all responses given by persons who answered the question (excluding those answering 'don't know' or refusing to answer).
The selection of relevant questions from the EQLS surveys to be included in the database was based on the following criteria:
