integratsioonita

Integratsioonita is an Estonian adjective meaning "without integration." It is formed from the noun integratsioon (integration) plus the suffix -ita, which denotes negation. In use, it describes states, groups or processes that are not integrated into a larger social, economic or civic system.

In public discourse, the term is most often used in discussions of social integration, particularly regarding immigrants and ethnic minority communities, but it can also apply to urban areas, educational settings or labor markets where integration is incomplete.

Describing something as integratsioonita carries evaluative weight, signaling concerns about social exclusion, marginalization, or unequal access to opportunities. Common indicators associated with integratsioonita conditions include language proficiency, employment, education attainment, income levels, housing, and social participation.

Policy debates about integratsioonita emphasize the need for inclusive measures, such as language training, anti-discrimination efforts, equitable schooling, and programs that foster social and economic participation. Some scholars caution against essentializing groups as inherently unintegrated and stress the role of structural factors and time in the integration process.
