Abstract

The various conflicts around the world meant that 2015 has seen the highest refugee figures since World War Two. While some refugees need government support, others are determined to lead an independent life through self-employment (Betts, Bloom and Weaver, 2015; Dijkhuizen and Berkhout 2015; UNHCR 2015). However, we know very little about the economic lives of refugees (Betts, Bloom, Kaplan and Omata 2014), let alone their entrepreneurial activity.
