Abstract

Employment constitutes one of the main predictors for humanitarian migrants' positive integration into a receiving country. With the estimates of global humanitarian migrant populations being at a record high, International Management faces the pressing need to deal with issues relating to humanitarian migrants' employment, inclusion and integration. Yet, forced migration and displacement have been studied largely in isolation from International Management research and practice. In this editorial, we describe the circumstances that have stimulated this special issue regarding the role of International Management in the employment, inclusion and integration of humanitarian migrants. Specifically, we outline why we consider forced migration and displacement as an International Management task, offer insights into effective strategies for humanitarian migrants' employment, inclusion and integration and highlight the need to carefully reflect on the migration discourse, the migration terminology, and certain present integration and resettlement practices. We conclude with a reflection on how this special issue contributes to advancing International Management research, highlighting future research avenues and informing practice and policy on how to foster the labour market integration of humanitarian migrants.
