Abstract

Key Policy Recommendations
• Improve policy and programming design to better align with the lived experience of being a refugee. This has implications
for co-ordinated cross-sector planning and service delivery.
• Refine legal instrumentation around refugee status to ensure service access and system capacity to avoid stunting youth
transitions.
• Provide choice in long term livelihood pathways by providing skills linked to labour market demand in the host country or
educational catch up opportunities outside of age-based schooling.
• Remove barriers to integration by creating enabling conditions which facilitate the transition into adulthood, such as
increased provision of language training.
• Young people are experts on their own lives, regardless of the circumstances they find themselves in. Youth should be
supported to voice their opinions and perspectives on their future adult lives
