The question being discussed in this paper is how can refugees be integrated into a host country’s labour market with Switzerland serving as a case example experiencing specific local challenges, such as an aging society and gaps in the labour market, particularly relating to semi-skilled jobs in the public sector. The paper aims to discuss this issue.,This paper examines Switzerland’s intake of refugees and analyses existing refugee and labour market policies and how the integration process is being managed by the authorities and responded to by Swiss citizens.,The analysis shows that refugees can potentially find jobs in all three segments of the Swiss labour market (highly skilled, semi-skilled and low-skilled labour) and provide mutually beneficial solutions for all parties concerned that include: for refugees seeking employment and asylum; for the aging population requiring care delivered by low- and semi-skilled workforce; and for public and private sector enterprises in need of qualified and motivated labour force.,This paper examines the interplay between refugees seeking work and demonstrates the importance of relating job entry by refuges with actual labour market constraints and opportunities of the host country, Switzerland.

瑞士人口老龄化和缺乏半熟练工人

本文讨论的问题是，如何以瑞士为例将难民纳入东道国的劳动力市场，作为一个案例，以应对当地的特定挑战，例如老龄化社会和劳动力市场的缺口，特别是与半熟练工作有关的缺口在公共部门。本文旨在讨论这一问题。本文研究了瑞士的难民入境情况，并分析了现有的难民和劳动力市场政策，以及当局如何管理融合进程并由瑞士公民作出回应。分析表明，难民可以在瑞士劳动力市场的所有三个领域（高技能，半技能和低技能的劳动力）中找到工作，并为所有有关方面提供互利的解决方案，其中包括：为寻求就业和庇护的难民；针对需要由低技能和半熟练劳动力提供护理的老龄人口；本文研究了寻求工作的难民之间的相互影响，并证明了将避难所的工作与实际的劳动力市场限制和所在国瑞士的机会联系起来的重要性。
