Welcome
Liechtenstein is a principality located between Switzerland and Austria. Around 40,000 people live here. At 160 square kilometers, it is the fourth smallest state in Europe and the sixth smallest in the world.
Integration Strategy
Overall, people from over 100 different nations live in Liechtenstein. This means that there is a great linguistic, cultural, and ethnic diversity in Liechtenstein.
In May 2020, the study "Integration in Liechtenstein" was published. Based on this, the integration strategy was developed. In 2021, the government approved the integration strategy. The goal of the integration strategy is the successful integration of all people in Liechtenstein.
Integration means: All people live and work well together. They support each other and accept one another. Integration is important and remains important. Therefore, migrants are promoted and challenged.
Annual Planning
The Ministry of Social Affairs has developed an annual plan together with a steering group. It outlines which projects and measures are to be carried out or started in a year.
The plan will be evaluated with the steering group at the end of the year. Afterwards, a new plan for the following year will be created.
