How do policies and investments promote social cohesion in high income countries? This event outlines the findings of three studies examining social cohesion outcomes in four European countries hosting forcibly displaced populations: Switzerland, Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia. The panelists discussed the policy implications of the research, including its relevance to Ukrainian refugees in Europe.
The event also highlighted the the relationship between labor markets, displacement, and social cohesion, how relocation decisions and conflict exposure affect long term education and economic outcomes, and which policies and investments are necessary to promote short- and long-term cohesion
