Tuesday, November 8th, 2022, 2:00 pm–2:45 pm
Speaker:
Alex Teytelboym (University of Oxford)
Location:
Calvin Lab Auditorium
The current refugee resettlement system is inefficient because there are too few resettlement places and because refugees are resettled to locations where they might not thrive. I will overview some recent efforts to improve employment outcomes of refugees arriving to the United States. I will then describe some recent efforts to incorporate refugees' preferences in processes that match them to locations.
