Land of Hope and Dreams: Labor Mobility and Refugee Dynamics in North America
Breakout Session
Hosted by UNHCR/ACNUR
This panel will explore the benefits of integrating refugees into the workforce, highlighting their contributions to economic growth and the resilience of North American cities. Refugees bring diverse perspectives, skills, and talents that enrich culture and boost economic vitality in their new communities. North America's embrace of refugees demonstrates its commitment to inclusivity, global stewardship, and human rights. Implementing supportive policies for those fleeing persecution and conflict can enhance regional stability and foster international collaboration.
