Refugees’ Transition into Gainful Employment. Actors, Social Processes and Perspectives - An Introduction

Abstract

"There is little evidence about the successful placement of refugees in the labor market and the conditions for successful, needs-covering and sustainable transitions into work for this group in Germany. The central question is which factors decisively facilitate or hinder the transitions to gainful employment. As particular challenges in this context, this introduction to the special issue stresses the high heterogeneity of the group of refugees, the multitude of actors and perspectives relevant to the labor market, as well as questions of successful social integration, which includes the participation on site in addition to the operational integration. Furthermore, this introduction explains the aims of the special issue and provides insights into the interdisciplinary scientific articles, practical reports and literature reviews."
