Abstract

This paper addresses a debatable and challenging issue, which is the employment status of refugees and migrants from third countries in Europe, since Europe is facing an immense refugee flow and the numbers are growing. While refugees are seeking better living conditions, with a secure income and job status, this subject is important to be researched. Our research shows that the job situation of refugees and asylum seekers in Europe had an impact on European economy and society. The methodology relies on descriptive statistical investigations using primary data, Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire, distributed among various groups of individuals from Romania and other European countries. Our results prove that the employment status is rather difficult, due to some factors such as level of education done in home country, last economic status and it can vary from one European country to another.
