Why Refugees Matter?
97 million new roles
According to the UN Refugee Agency, there are 35.3M refugees in the world. 2022 was the largest yearly increase in recorded history of those who got refugee status.
Many of these roles are entry level but high-paying with upward mobility, needing people with enough technical expertise to automate tasks, do data hygiene, etc. These roles are perfect for refugees looking for a dignified career.
35 million refugees
According to the UN Refugee Agency, there are 35.3M refugees in the world. 2022 was the largest yearly increase in recorded history of those who got refugee status.
Unfortunately, this problem is only going to get worse due to global conflicts. While refugees are educated, motivated, and loyal, many end up in manual labor out of desperation; jobs that are unable to sustain their families.
>40% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants
The children of immigrants started another 114 companies.
The revenue generated by Fortune 500 companies founded by immigrants of children of immigrants is greater than the GDP (gross domestic product) of every country in the world outside the U.S., except China and Japan.
Refugee challenges
“The biggest challenge that many refugees face is access to the formal labour market. Language barriers, lack of recognition of their qualifications, and discrimination all limit job opportunities. Education and work are interrupted when one is forced to flee as well as the absence of social and professional networks, making it difficult to compete successfully in the job market. As a result, refugees face high levels of unemployment and economic insecurity, which inhibits their ability to support themselves and contribute to their new communities”
— Kelly T. Clements, Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR
110 million forcibly displaced people worldwide
At mid-2023 as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations or events seriously disturbing public order.
An estimated 43.3 million (40 per cent) are children below 18 years of age.
