Project description

Het onderzoek “Hoe nieuwkomers werk vinden” heeft als doel inzicht te krijgen in hoe asielzoekers en statushouders in Nederland zelfstandig werk vinden, welke ondersteunende factoren daarbij helpen, en welke obstakels zij ervaren. Door middel van een landelijke meertalige survey, drie expertpools en aanvullende community research worden de ervaringen en strategieën van nieuwkomers in verschillende fasen – in het AZC, tijdens en na de inburgering – verzameld en geanalyseerd.

De resultaten bieden waardevolle kennis voor beleid en praktijk: ze maken zichtbaar welke wegen naar werk effectief zijn en waar gerichte ondersteuning het verschil kan maken. Het onderzoek wordt uitgevoerd door OpenEmbassy, in opdracht van het Ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid (SZW), en combineert kwantitatieve data met diepgang uit ervaringsverhalen om te komen tot concrete aanbevelingen voor toekomstbestendig en inclusief arbeidsmarktbeleid.
