" Labor mobility for refugees: towards a new form of complementary pathway in Europe"
Thursday 7 September 2023
4:30 PM to 5:30 PM (CEST)
Conférence en anglais - Gratuite
Introduction
SAFE is a three-year project co-funded by the European Union that aims at fostering the collaboration between stakeholders at a transnational level to develop and improve access to international protection through private sponsorship schemes and complementary pathways.
In the past few years, labor mobility as a complementary pathway for refugees has gained momentum, with the development of initiatives such as the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot in Canada. Following this, labor mobility pathways emerged around the world, reaching Europe where the European Commission expressed a keen interest in their development. Beyond political will, what are the main challenges to their implementation?
Objectives
-
Understanding how labor mobility for refugees works at a global level.
-
Looking at the replicability of these initiatives in a European context.
