The challenges of accessing labour markets for asylum seekers and refugees in Cape Town, South Africa: A case study of Bellville.
Abstract
The world has recognised the global record of increased international migrants and
refugees in the last two decades. In South Africa in particular, migrants and refugees
have remarkably increased in the last ten years. Refugees in South Africa face many
challenges of accessing employment while the government also faces the high global
unemployment of its citizens. Also, refugees have problems of accessing social
services such as education, shelter, and social grants and also problems of insecurity
and safety, discrimination and exclusion.
