Pros

Refugees start at a lower employment level upon arrival in host countries but subsequently “catch up,” economically, with family reunion migrants.

Internal migration (i.e. within the host country) of immigrants in general, and of refugees in particular, is an important factor for obtaining employment.

Similar labor market results (e.g. employment and income levels) are obtained for male and female immigrants in a number of different countries.

Results from current research seem robust, since comparable outcomes are obtained when investigating various national labor markets.
