A study of refugees who arrived in Germany between 2013 and 2016 and compared conditions across 38 regions found that their social attitudes converged with those of local residents more quickly in areas with higher levels of xenophobia. The rate of convergence was 39 percent faster in the most hostile areas than in the least hostile ones. This did not, however, go hand in hand with better economic integration: refugee incomes grew 22 percent more slowly in the most hostile areas, and the study found no clear evidence that refugees entered the labor market more quickly. Hostile environments were also associated with more reports of discrimination, lower trust in institutions, and less willingness to apply for German citizenship. The researchers concluded that discrimination hinders both economic and social integration.
