Economies: rights and access to work

When people are forced to leave their homes, they usually also leave behind their means of economic activity. In their new location, they may not be able, or permitted, to work. This has wide-ranging implications. The "Forced Migration Review" journal June issue includes 22 articles on the main feature theme of Economies: rights and access to work.
