| Description |
This EMN study documents the labour market
access of applicants for international protection between
2017 to 2022, complementing an earlier (2019) EMN
study on labour market integration of third-country
nationals excluding asylum seekers.1 This involves an
up-to-date and in-depth analysis of legislation, policies
and practices in EMN Member Countries on integration
of applicants for international protection into the labour
market, and the key actors involved in that implementa-
tion. It also provides examples of challenges and good
practices.
This study understands the minimum required ‘access to
the labour market’ as regulated under the recast Recep-
tion Conditions Directive (2013/33/EU), which ensures
that “applicants have access to the labour market no later
than nine months from the date when the application
for international protection was lodged, if a first instance
decision by the competent authority has not been taken
and the delay cannot be attributed to the applicant
