WUSC & Mastercard Foundation: Market Assessment of Digital Employment Opportunities for Refugee Youth
WUSC & Mastercard Foundation: Market Assessment of Digital Employment Opportunities for Refugee Youth

August 2022

In partnership with WUSC (World University Service of Canada) and the Mastercard Foundation, Samuel Hall conducted a market assessment of digital employment opportunities for refugee youth in Kenya with a focus on interrogating the ability of the digital economy to live up to expectations and provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for refugee youth.

Our findings show that, while the demand for digital skills is growing, this growth will not necessarily equate to an increase in long-term sustainable employment opportunities for refugee youth.

ILO – Integrated Labour Market Assessment in Jigjiga and Kebribeyah: A Marketplace in Between Resilience and Integration
ILO – Integrated Labour Market Assessment in Jigjiga and Kebribeyah: A Marketplace in Between Resilience and Integration

December 2020

Building on previous ILO work conducted in the Ethiopian regions and in Dadaab, Kenya, the study analysed labour market opportunities and constraints for refugees and hosts in Jigjiga, Somali State through the prism of the Labour Market System (LMS). The analysis is conducted through the lens of decent work opportunities. This means that the study focuses on both the quantity and quality of jobs available for host communities and refugees. As such, the focus is not solely on unemployment patterns, but also and more crucially on the type of jobs occupied by host communities and refugees to measure decent work. Building on the Jijiga study, Samuel Hall was subsequently contracted to replicate the research in the Tigray regional state.
