Promoting integration through English & multiculturalism: Australia & Canada compared to the UK

http://www.mipex.eu/blog/unlike-uk-australia-canada-promote-english-and-multiculturalism-too

New report from the Migration Integration Policy Index (MIPEX).

 “Today, Australia, Canada, and the UK benefit from policies that slightly encourage legal residents to put down permanent roots in their community, become full citizens, and fight discrimination. Before they can naturalise, most will have weak political rights in the three countries, especially compared to Ireland or other Northern European countries. During this time, many temporary workers in the UK and Australia will also have to live without the equal job support and flexibility that everyone enjoys in Canada. “

How to request copies:

All readers who usually receive the Arabic edition (NHQ) of FMR will receive a copy of the supplement in Arabic with their copy of NHQ 31 in January. You therefore do not need to request it UNLESS you would like to receive multiple copies for training purposes and/or onward distribution.

The English version of the supplement will NOT be mailed out to regular readers of FMR. You need to email us to request copies. We are keen to distribute copies to organisations which would find it useful for training and awareness-raising purposes. We would also be happy to send it to libraries and resource centres.

fmr@qeh.ox.ac.uk, indicating:
- which language
- how many
- your full postal address
- and, preferably, how you propose using it.

REMINDER
If you have not already done so, we would be extremely grateful if you would complete our reader survey at http://www.fmreview.org/2008survey.htm This will help us make sure FMR is meeting your needs and give us ideas of how we might improve it. Thank you!
