velintegrerte

Velintegrerte is a Norwegian and Danish adjective meaning well-integrated. It is used to describe individuals, groups, or systems that have been successfully incorporated into a larger social, economic, or institutional context.

In policy and social science, the term often appears in discussions of integration of immigrants and minority groups, but it can also describe organizations, communities, or cities that have become part of a broader society or economy. The concept encompasses linguistic, cultural, economic, and civic dimensions and implies a degree of functioning and participation within the host context.

Velintegrering is multidimensional, and measurements or assessments typically look at several indicators. Common criteria include employment or income stability, language proficiency, education attainment, access to housing, social networks, participation in civic life, and adherence to laws and norms. Researchers emphasize that integration is a dynamic process that unfolds over time and varies with local conditions, policies, and personal circumstances.

Grammatical note: velintegrerte is used as the attributive form for plural nouns or certain feminine forms; the stem velintegrer- combines with -te to form velintegrerte in plural contexts (for example, velintegrerte innvandrere). The singular form is velintegrert, used with masculine or neuter nouns, with appropriate agreement in definite forms.
