Forced migration: few opportunities for the poor


Workshop: Forced Migration, Exclusion, and Social Class
The workshop "Forced Migration, Exclusion, and Social Class" took place at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (MPI) on 23 and 24 May 2019. The participants examined the ways that the prior economic and social background of refugees affect what opportunities are available to them during their flight and after arrival in a new country.
