‘Junctures of change' in the integration of young refugees
This study explores 'junctures of change' as they manifest in the integration trajectories of young refugees in Denmark. The study combines in-depth qualitative research, analysis of national policy changes and case studies of the implementation of national policy in two municipalities.
Through a transitionsperspective and biographical narratives, the study unpacks the conditions and timings (‘junctures of change’) that shape young refugees’ integration trajectories in decisive ways. The study seeks to develop analytical tools to better understand the ways individual actors, support organisations and policy systems can interact to facilitate integration. The project contributes to the development of the research field of migration and integration by developing ‘junctures of change for integration’ as a specific problem space for research that informs integration policies and interventions to support young refugees' transition into Danish society.
