Migrant Social Integration: Key Obstacles and Pathways to Eff ective Adaptation

Abstract

The study of the social integration of migrants is of great theoretical and practical importance. Identifying patterns and features of migration allows us to model strategies for successfully adapting migrants. The social and socio-cultural characteristics of the host environment: its stratifi cation and value-normative foundations, the degree of ethnic mosaicism, which characterises the density and frequency of interethnic interactions, mentality and culture, and tolerant readiness to interact with others, are identifi ed as essential factors in adaptation processes. The study aims to characterise the problems and strategies of successful adaptation to migrants’ social integration. The object of the study is the process of integrating migrants into society. The empirical basis of the study is based on the results of the author’s research conducted in the autumn of 2024
