Our team was commissioned by the Welsh Government to explore the opportunities and outcomes for EU citizens in Wales and suggest ways to support the integration process. This work is part of the EU Citizens Rights (EUCR) project, which aims to encourage EU citizens to remain in Wales and ensure that they are protected from exploitation and exclusion.

Using public survey data, we compared outcomes of EU citizens living in Wales to Welsh citizens in the areas of employment, housing, health and benefits, language skills and national identity. We also actively engaged with EU citizens, local government officials and organisations providing support to EU citizens living in Wales to explore broader areas and issues in the integration process. Our study concluded with a set of actionable policy recommendations that can be implemented to improve the integration of EU citizens in Wales.
