How to Integrate Refugees Into the Workforce - Different Opportunities for (Social) Entrepreneurship

The literature on the role of (social) entrepreneurship for the vocational integration of refugees is scare. Drawing on examples of successful (social) enterprises, this paper aims to address this gap by proposing a typology of refugee and refugee-related (social) entrepreneurship, using Germany as main example. It aims to provide a framework for future research on these kinds of entrepreneurship by identifying three types of entrepreneurship for refugees and two by refugees, namely social intrapreneurship, intermediary concepts and job creation for refugees as well as refugee entrepreneurship and refugee social entrepreneurship by refugees.
