World Bank - The Labor Market Impact of Forced Displacement Jobs in Host Communities in Colombia, Ethiopia, Jordan, and Uganda - Executive Summary

Document Type: Informes y evaluaciones
Document Language: English
This report helps provide an understanding of how displacement affects joboutcomes in host communities in low- and middle-income countries andidentifies ways to support better job opportunities for hosts and refugees.Forced displacement is at its highest since World War II, with 37.8 millionrefugees displaced internationally as of mid-2022. For many refugees, displacement has lasted a long time, and—because few refugees have returnedto their homes in recent years—policies focus on how to integrate them intothe economies of host communities. This policy direction, in turn, raisesquestions and concerns about the potential negative effects on job prospects for host workers. Public debate tends to focus on refugees who settlein high-income countries, yet low- and middle-income countries host threeof every four refugees. This report looks at job outcomes for hosts and refugees in these economies and seeks to identify policy directions to support both refugee and host workers.
