Comparative Integration Policies: The Socioeconomic Outcomes of Refugee Women in Belgium and the Netherlands
Description of Study
This chapter investigates how integration policies in Wallonia, Belgium shape the lived experiences of refugees by requiring labour participation in ways that primarily serve the needs of the host society. We conceptualise integration as a form of symbolic power that confines migrants to their role as contributing workers, often misaligned with the complex realities of their refugee lives. Drawing on semi-structured interviews conducted in 2025 in Liège with refugees and public administration officials involved in the civic integration programme, the analysis demonstrates how refugees, specifically racialised women, navigate integration's institutional context.
