Abstract

Older Congolese refugees face more challenges upon resettlement in the U. S. compared to younger refugees. We compared the convoy and bioecological models to explicate the challenges faced by older Congolese refugees during resettlement and integration in the U.S. Second, we created an integrated model that focuses on the importance of social relationships and situates this understanding within the broad bioecological perspective to illuminate how influences on resettlement and integration operate bidirectionally across different system levels and across time.

老刚果难民在美国的重新安置挑战：生物生态护航模型

摘要

与年轻难民相比，年长的刚果难民在美国重新安置时面临更多挑战。我们比较了车队和生物生态模型，以说明在美国重新安置和融入社会期间年长的刚果难民面临的挑战 其次，我们创建了一个综合模型，该模型侧重于社会关系的重要性，并将这种理解置于广泛的生物生态学视角中，以阐明如何对移民安置和融合的影响在不同的系统层面和时间上双向发挥作用。
