Making It Work: Refugee Employment in the UK
Working Paper 2 of the 'asylum and migration' working paper series
ISBN: 1860302424 Author: Alice Bloch
This IPPR working paper paints a worrying picture
of refugee unemployment in the UK. Despite arriving with diverse and often valuable skills, refugees
face considerable barriers in gaining employment that matches those skills. Dr Alice Bloch argues
that getting refugees into employment is key to their successful integration into the UK and
suggests strategies for how Government policy can reflect the importance of this goal.
