Employment Problems of Refugees in Finland

The purpose of this thesis was to examine employment problems experienced, faced, and exposed by refugees in Finland. The theoretical framework of the thesis delves into the refugee and their processes, as well as the concepts and situations concerning employment. In this thesis, the research method used was a descriptive literature review. The required data for this literature search was obtained by exploring electronic databases such as ProQuest, Google Scholar, EBSCO, Laurea Finna, and Theseus. The review focused on five specific research articles. An internet search was conducted to find relevant reports and published articles. The qualitative research method was used to analyze the literature. The findings of the thesis are that refugees living in Finland face employment problems in many ways. Despite the increasing number of these issues, it is evident that racism, social exclusion, and discrimination generally prevail. Research shows that social dynamics and changing agendas significantly affect the lives and employment processes of refugees, with these problems being ongoing and not easily resolvable. This topic calls for further investigation and more comprehensive, effective, and practical research should be conducted. This approach could provide a healthier perspective and understanding of this matter
