Book Description
This report analyses the employment of Indo-Chinese refugees in the United States. Its findings are based on existing research and on surveys of Indo-Chinese refugees. It comprises eight sections: 1) Introduction; 2) Aggregate Patterns of Labour Force Activity; 3) Determinants of Labour Force Participation (for example, age, sex, education, knowledge of English); 4) Sponsorship and Employment; 5) Ethnicity and Employment; 6) Methods of Job Search; 7) Jobs; and 8) Concluding Remarks. The author argues that welfare dependency by refugees has not inhibited their search for work. He maintains that their immigration status and previous training, the condition of the local economy and the character of the resettlement programme are the main factors responsible for the difficulties which refugees encounter in searching for employment. The author concludes that the level of public assistance utilization by refugees will only decline when their employment situation improves and not the reverse. He further concludes that reductions in assistance could intensify the hardships which refugees already face in the labour market.

Economic Adaptation and Integration of Non-Southeast Asian Refugees to the United States
Author: E. Gozdziak
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
This paper aims at elucidating commonalities and differences between resettlement experiences of non-South East Asian and Indo-Chinese refugees as well as comparing them with adaptation processes of other immigrant groups. In describing economic adaptation, the author states that non-South East Asian refugees have higher labour-force participation rates than South East Asian refugees, lower unemployment, and lower reliance on public assistance programmes. She examines the patterns and type of employment among various groups, relying on recent surveys and studies. Wages and occupational mobility are also discussed. Within the section on factors influencing refugee employment, mention is given to demographic factors, length of time in the United States, background characteristics that effect later adjustment, household size and composition, and employment services. There are two brief sections dealing with public assistance utilization and economic self-sufficiency. The author concludes that research provides good news concerning non-South East Asian refugees and their economic adaptation and integration in the United States.

Book Description
This two-volume study was prepared for the US Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement, under contract from the Social Security Administration. The central concept studied was refugee self-sufficiency, organized into the two major dimensions of economic and social self-sufficiency. The economic dimension included the components of labour force participation, employment, welfare usage, other support and income levels. The social dimension included components of English language ability, physical and mental health, interactions with Americans and participation in formal organizations. Separate field studies of four ethnic groups - Afghans, Ethiopians, Poles and Romanians were conducted in five locations: Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Northern Virginia/Washington, DC and New York City. Volume I presents the introduction and background to the study and a brief description of the information sources and study methods, as well as the major findings synthesized by ethnic groups across all sites in which the group was studied. In Section IV, conclusions about patterns of adjustment in general deriving from the findings are illustrated with reference to the particular group. Implications for the refugee service system of non-Southeast Asians are presented in Section V. The 12 Case Portrayals are compiled in Volume II, along with a description of the context of each site of study. The volume is structured in such a way that the context of the first site is described, followed by the portrayal of the adjustment of each ethnic group studied at that site.
