Excerpt:
Integration contracts for migrants, introduced two years ago, have had some success in Switzerland - but there is still room for improvement, a study has found.
Some cantons have taken a harder tack than others. Meanwhile, critics have warned that migrants should not be forced to integrate.
The cantons of Basel City, Basel Country, Solothurn, Zurich and Aargau signed up to the pilot project in 2008, the evaluation of which was presented in Zurich on Thursday.
An integration contact is made between a migrant and a canton, which is responsible for integration matters under the Swiss federal system.
