We invite you to the seminar Beyond Employment: Refugees and Their Impact on European Societies, which will bring together leading researchers to discuss the broader social, political, and economic consequences of contemporary refugee movements in Europe and beyond.
The seminar will feature a strong programme of presentations examining issues such as political backlash and social cohesion, labour market interactions between refugees and native workers, intergenerational welfare dependence, discrimination, and organizational contexts shaping inequality. Across three thematic sessions, the speakers will provide cutting-edge empirical evidence and stimulate discussion on how refugee inflows reshape labour markets, institutions, and European societies.
