The results show that refugees are significantly less likely to be in employment, and that household characteristics influence women’s economic opportunities. While having a female household head, access to agricultural land, and the number of female adults increased female participation in economic activities, conversely, higher numbers of children in the household significantly reduce women’s opportunities. Higher education attainment boosts both male and female refugees’ participation in wage employment. Among refugees, Somali refugees have relatively better access to employment opportunities compared to other refugee groups, especially refugees from South Sudan and Sudan. 2021-12-02T21:42:42Z 2021-12-02T21:42:42Z 2021-11 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/undefined/754711638209414704/Forced-Displacement-Gender-and-Livelihoods-Refugees-in-Ethiopia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/36638 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9862 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Africa Africa Eastern and Southern (AFE) Ethiopia |

| description |
This study uses the Ethiopia Skills
Profile Survey (2017) to examine the gender differences in
livelihood opportunities and activities between refugees and
host communities. The results show that refugees are
significantly less likely to be in employment, and that
household characteristics influence women’s economic
opportunities. While having a female household head, access
to agricultural land, and the number of female adults
increased female participation in economic activities,
conversely, higher numbers of children in the household
significantly reduce women’s opportunities. Higher education
attainment boosts both male and female refugees’
participation in wage employment. Among refugees, Somali
refugees have relatively better access to employment
opportunities compared to other refugee groups, especially
refugees from South Sudan and Sudan. |
