This report is a study on the right to work and rights at work for refugees in the eight countries involved in the PROSPECTS programme. This synthesis draws upon baseline reviews of relevant policy, legislative and regulatory frameworks in the countries. It also examines current practice on the access of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons to labour market, employment, livelihood and training opportunities, including self-employment and business development, and rights at work, including social protection, access to grievance mechanisms and freedom of association.

Through this review, the ILO seeks to explore further opportunities to strengthen policy, legislative and institutional environments and mechanisms, working closely with host governments and other national actors and partners. By providing a comprehensive and robust picture of the situation on the ground, the report offers actionable areas of intervention to support policy development, reform and implementation capacity of the host governments, other national and local actors, including the social partners, to enhance inclusion and protection.
