Description
It is well known that the integration of refugees and, even more so, asylum seekers into the labour market is a challenging process. Many barriers can arise, such as institutional, administrative, educational and societal/cultural. The availability of work in the informal economy can also make it difficult for refugees (by using this word we refer to both refugees and asylum seekers) to access the formal labour market. Last but not least, the type of reception received by refugees (in Italy, for example, the possibility of being accommodated in a SAI rather than a CAS, not to mention those who were not accommodated at all) could make the difference in terms of labour market inclusion. In this session, we want to analyse how refugees are integrated into the labour market in Italy and other European countries and how much institutional support (e.g. public employment services and access to traineeships and/or vocational training) counts versus individual factors (such as knowledge of the language of the host country, qualifications and also mental condition). In addition, since February 2022, more than 7 million asylum seekers have arrived from Ukraine (mainly women and children) and they are now entering the labour market: this session also aims to highlight the inclusion in the labour market of this category of refugees, who have benefited from special regulations. How do existing and newly introduced legal regulations affect Ukrainian inclusion in the labour market? Papers based on empirical research and analysis of good practice are welcome, as are papers using a comparative approach. We also welcome papers that reflect theoretically on the different challenges faced by Ukrainians and other forced migrants in integrating into the labour market.
