Integration strategy
In total, people from over 100 different nations live in Liechtenstein. This means that there is great linguistic, cultural and ethnic diversity in Liechtenstein.
The study "Integration in Liechtenstein" was published in May 2020. The integration strategy was then developed on this basis. the government approved the integration strategy in 2021. The aim of the integration strategy is the good integration of all people in Liechtenstein.
Integration means that everyone lives and works well together. They stick together and accept each other. Integration is important and remains important. That is why migrants are supported and challenged.
