Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
An abundance of international studies shows that refugees have an elevated burden of mental health problems and persistently lower employment rates than other migrant groups. Good health is a prerequisite for participating in society (Meld. St. 5, 2022–2023<\/a>) and given Norway’s ambition of a sustainable and inclusive welfare state, it is important to understand the significance of refugees’ mental health for their labor market participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recent research suggests that mental health in particular may play a central role in long-term exclusion from working life, possibly by disrupting the acquisition of skills and the establishment of social networks in a critical early phase. Refugees often carry with them traumatic experiences from before and during flight, and additionally face strains after arrival, such as language barriers, economic insecurity and discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the elevated burden of mental health problems among refugees is well documented, few studies have examined how mental health and labor market participation are interconnected over time. HEaL aims to help fill this knowledge gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
