Research on the Refugee Settlement and Integration

Abstract

This paper explores the role of high-skilled global immigration in the context of globalization, emphasizing its impact on labor supply, economic growth, trade, and more. Refugees, facing initial economic challenges, are compared to economic migrants. By analyzing the refugee history all over the world, focusing on refugee research in Denmark, the study reviews and employs Regression Discontinuity Design to assess the connection between language training and labor market integration. Analyzing data from several individuals and linked children, results highlight positive effects on earnings and employment, particularly in the long term. The study demonstrates that investing in language skills benefits refugees economically. In a concise summary, this research underscores the complex relationship between global immigration, economic dynamics, and policy implications.
