Supplementary notes
The new immigrants were interviewed for the first time in 2019, then in 2020 and 2022. The exercises related to French language proficiency are modeled on those of the Information and Daily Life (IVQ) survey of the INSEE (source), and allow to assess the progress in written comprehension.
Data for oral comprehension also available on the same source.
