“…Interspersed among stories of isolation, suicide, and desperation are Bhutanese refugees' success stories of integration and assimilation with the broader society, as well as many reports of Bhutanese refugees being happy to have resettled in the REFUGE: CANADA'S JOURNAL ON REFUGEES Emotions in Crisis US, citing opportunities for younger generations (Roka, 2017). Scholars demand better solutions and more attention to address refugees' struggles in integration and adaptation (Griffiths & Loy, 2019;Lewis, 2021;Naseh et al, 2022;Parajuli & Horey, 2022;Poudel-Tandukar et al, 2020;Roka, 2017). It is prudent to uptake similar approaches to understand migration officials' impact in refugee camps; more research is needed to understand possible connections between encampment and resettlement in terms of interactions with officials and relatively low integration rates.…”

Research on refugee resettlement frequently overlooks the larger context of the experience of forced migration. As a result, the micro-level interactions between refugees and the bureaucrats who make resettlement decisions are obscured. We can better understand the socio-political dynamics between refugees and the officials deciding their resettlement cases if we approach encounters between refugees and migration officials during ceremonial visits as sites of emotional exchange. This article examines the complex socio-political emotional exchanges of power and vulnerability that underpin the refugee resettlement process through an ethnographic analysis of Bhutanese refugee camps in Nepal.

In an increasingly mobile world, the integration of immigrants and displaced individuals is an important factor in creating cohesive and inclusive societies. Integration has different dimensions; this scoping review examines the conceptualization and measurement of economic integration among immigrants and refugees in the United States. Quantitative peer-reviewed journal papers measuring or conceptualizing the economic integration of first-generation documented adult immigrants or refugees in the United States, as well as relevant conceptual or theory papers on this topic, were included in the review. The search strategy included an online search of the Web of Science Core Collection, PsycINFO, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts (ASSIA), and EconLit. Additional search strategies included scanning the reference lists of studies identified as relevant in the initial database search. An analysis of 72 studies included in the review using a data extraction table reveals seven key domains of economic integration: income and economic security, employment and occupational categories, assets and use of financial services, neighborhood and housing, health, education, and use of public assistance. Income and economic security emerged as the most common indicators of integration in the reviewed studies. Notably, less than half of the reviewed publications had a multidimensional approach to defining or measuring economic integration, and the majority of studies were focused on immigrants, with a smaller proportion dedicated to refugees. This review emphasizes the need for comprehensive frameworks in assessing economic integration among immigrants and refugees, reflecting the multifaceted nature of their economic integration experiences.
