The 7th Viennese Diversity Monitor 2026

Since 2008, the City of Vienna – Integration and Diversity has been regularly conducting the Integration and Diversity Monitoring. L&R Social Research implemented the 6th Viennese Diversity Monitoring in 2023 and was commissioned to conduct the 7th Viennese Diversity Monitoring in 2026.

The Diversity Monitoring analyzes how the implementation of diversity management measures in the departments or institutions of the City of Vienna has developed over time since 2008. The aim is to ascertain how the city’s administration is dealing with the increasing diversity of the population. This information is collected along the following key questions:

• How is diversity management anchored in the departments and institutions of the City of Vienna?
• How is the diversity of the population reflected among the employees of the City of Vienna?
• Are the services, products and measures of the City of Vienna adapted to the diverse needs of its residents in a needs- and target group-oriented manner?

To investigate this questions, an online questionnaire that was already developed in the course of the previous survey rounds will be used, after appropriate additions and adaptations have been made. The online survey addressed representatives of selected departments and institutions of the city. The three analysis dimensions “Organisation and Strategy”, “Personnel and Competencies” and “Services and Customers” were examined with a focus on diversity.

The summarized results of the Diversity Monitoring are expected to be presented and published in November 2026.
