How Entrepreneurship Helps Refugees Find Their Place
Joris Amin explores the integration of refugees into the Dutch labor market, focusing on the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship. Many refugees find jobs that do not align with their skills, which negatively affects their professional and mental well-being. His research shows that entrepreneurship helps refugees utilize their talents, build a new professional identity, and improve their mental health. This gives them greater control over their future and strengthens their social connections in the Netherlands. Amin emphasizes the importance of specific entrepreneurship programs, such as incubators and coaching initiatives, to promote the integration of refugees and enhance their economic and social standing.
