Short description

Tunisia currently hosts 771 refugees (as of 2017), nearly 50 per cent of whom live in the Tunis Region. Conversely, a substantial number of positions for low skilled labor remain unfilled, particularly in the areas of commerce, services, and construction. This paper relates barriers to decent employment of refugees and asylum-seekers and makes recommendations on how to improve working conditions in the construction sector.
