Immigration to Austria: Who comes? Who stays? Who seeks and finds work?

Seminar with Rainer Münz

Speaker: Rainer Münz



Date: November 10, 2026

Time: 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Duration: 2 hours (online)



Key areas:

- Who is coming? – The composition of immigrants varies from year to year

Who will stay? – Will they stay in Austria or continue their migration?

- Who seeks and finds work? – Job search, employment and wage levels in the years following immigration



Objectives: To answer the three questions posed above using available data from official statistics, the Public Employment Service, the Federal Ministry of the Interior, and the statutory social security system; to examine the period from 2014/15 onwards, which was characterized by significant migration; to draw practical conclusions for integration efforts in Austria.



Rainer Münz conducts research at the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna and teaches at the Diplomatic Academy. He is a member of the Expert Council on Integration and advises the European Commission on migration issues. Previously, he was an advisor to EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, headed the research department of Erste Bank, and held professorships at universities in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the USA, as well as at the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
