immigrant integration
Settling into society
Immigrant integration is the process by which immigrants become part of their new society—learning the language, finding employment, participating in civic life, and developing social connections.
The term implies a two-way process: immigrants adapt to their new country while the receiving society accommodates them.
The city invested in immigrant integration programs including job training and English classes.
Integration is often contrasted with assimilation, which suggests immigrants should abandon their original culture entirely.
