What are the barriers faced by refugees in the job market?

Refugees face a range of barriers in the job market, including language barriers, a lack of social capital, discrimination and biases, and a lack of recognition of their qualifications and experience. Language is often the biggest barrier, preventing refugees from participating fully in the job market. Even when they can communicate effectively, they may still struggle to navigate the job market due to a lack of knowledge about local workplace cultures and practices. Additionally, employers may be hesitant to hire refugees due to prejudices or concerns about their ability to integrate into the workplace. These barriers often lead refugees to work in lower-paying, lower-skilled jobs, even when they have significant education and experience in their home countries.
