“…Empirical evidence shows that this may due to the segregated labour market for humanitarian migrants, where higher proficiency in English is not highly valued in low-level jobs. This was the case for a study conducted in Italy (Ortensi 2015). Difficulties in English language acquisition facing humanitarian migrants could also be a factor as was shown in a Canadian case study (Chiswick & Miller 2001).…”

“…The BNLA data has many advantages that other datasets do not have. Relatively few countries (e.g., Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Sweden and the US) enable researchers to identify refugees in the populations using linked general-purpose survey and administrative data (Chin & Cortes 2015;Ortensi 2015). Indeed, finding or collecting adequate, specific and nationally representative data on (recent) refugees has been difficult (Spring et al 2003;Åslund & Rooth 2007;Connor 2010;de Vroome & van Tubergen 2010).…”

This study uses the longitudinal data from the Building a New Life in Australia survey to examine the relationships between human capital and labour market participation and employment status among recently arrived/approved humanitarian migrants. It includes attention to the heterogeneity of labour force participation and employment status across genders and also migration pathways. We find that the likelihood of participating in the labour force is higher for those who had preimmigration paid job experience, completed study/job training and have job searching knowledge/skills in Australia and possess higher proficiency in spoken English. We find that the chance of getting a paid job is negatively related to having better pre-immigration education, but it is positively related to having unpaid work experience and job searching skills in Australia, and better health.

“…2 Economic integration of migrants e existing literature identi es refugees as a group at an economic disadvantage relative to economic immigrants as they face more barriers to enter employment, which makes their labour force participation rates lower than other migrant groups or the natives (Connor 2010;Hugo 2014;Ortensi 2015;Wauters and Lambrecht 2008). Given that employment plays an important role in terms of immigrant's integration in the host society, gaining employment for refugees is an important dimension of their rese lement in the host country.…”
