There is growing support at policy level in the Netherlands for the notion that different forms of participation by newly arrived refugees should take place simultaneously, not sequentially. Using Dutch large-scale survey data on Syrian refugees with a residence permit, this study explores whether this policy idea of a parallel approach of (economic, educational and societal) participation is provided in practice. We find that Syrians on average combine two forms of participation: language lessons are the most dominant form of participation and are regularly combined with volunteering, but far less commonly with employment or education. With a latent class analysis, we found four participation profiles: two small active groups (termed active seekers and eager learners) and two less active groups (language learners and cautious starters). Higher pre-migration human capital, more activities in the asylum reception centre, more contacts with natives and being younger and male are associated with more participation.

超越就业：在荷兰的叙利亚难民的参与概况

荷兰在政策层面越来越支持新抵达难民不同形式的参与应该同时进行，而不是依次进行。本研究使用荷兰关于持有居留许可的叙利亚难民的大规模调查数据，探讨了这种（经济、教育和社会）参与并行方法的政策理念是否在实践中提供。我们发现，叙利亚人平均结合了两种参与形式：语言课程是最主要的参与形式，并且经常与志愿服务相结合，但与就业或教育相结合的情况要少得多。通过潜在类别分析，我们发现了四个参与配置文件：两个活跃的小群体（称为积极寻求者和渴望学习者）和两个不太活跃的群体（语言学习者和谨慎的初学者）。
