Asylum and integration 2023 – Cohort study on asylum seekers and status holders

Erratum: 08/02/2024 16:27

Despite the care taken in compiling this publication, an error has been noted with this edition of Asylum and Integration 2023. We apologise for this.

While creating the update for spring 2024, it was found that some individuals were missing from the data from the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA), and this was also the case in the data delivery for the 2023 update (but not before). In the outflow of persons from COA locations in the first half of 2022, part of the population data was not delivered, which included the outflow of young people under the age of 18. For the Asylum and Integration 2023 dashboard and report, this means that no conclusions can currently be drawn about those exiting the COA and the inflow/occupancy of the COA in the first half of 2022. With regard to the residence situation after entry into the COA, persons who were wrongly not counted in the outflow files are now counted as "in COA”, while they should have been counted in one of the other categories. Characteristics reflecting a person's situation X months after exiting the COA erroneously exclude this group.

The cohort first half of 2022 within the shelter part is therefore not yet fully reliable and will be restored in the publication of Q2 2024, which includes the period January 2014 to the first half of 2023.

In addition, a small correction was made to the "number of different jobs" indicator in job characteristics. In cases where a person returns to a previous job for several months, a lower number of jobs is mistakenly counted instead of the actual number of different jobs. Hence, there was a slight underestimate. This has been corrected and leads to no differences for most shares.
