Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX): an analysis of countries via Gaussian mixture model-based clustering

In recent decades, there has been a growing research interest in compar- ative studies of migrant integration, assimilation and the evaluation of policies im- plemented for these purposes. With this aim, The Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX), that measures policies to integrate migrants in 52 countries, has estab- lished itself as a solid reference on the subject over the years. In this work, we im- prove and facilitate the comparison between the treated countries by the application a Gaussian mixture model-based cluster analysis on the 8 MIPEX dimensions.
