Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the position of persons with granted international protection (recognized refugees) with reference to the experience of their employment or the acquisition of economic security. Economic security and independence are the prerequisite and foundation for successful integration of recognized refugees into society. Nevertheless, despite the possibilities foreseen by law, scarce employment and insufficient economic security of persons with granted international protection are among the key problems regarding their integration. This article consists of an overview of relevant literature in the field of refugee employment, a case study of the integration program of a non-governmental organization, and recommendations regarding the improvement of the refugee employment policy, as well as a contribution to the debate on the adoption of immigration policy with an emphasis on socioeconomic rights and opportunities for quality integration of refugees and migrants.
