Summary, in English

Around 100,000 refugees are resettled to dozens of countries from conflict zones every year. While there is growing evidence that the initial placement of refugee families profoundly affects their lifetime outcomes, there have been few attempts to optimize resettlement destinations within host countries. We describe how machine learning and integer optimization can be used to empower resettlement agencies to drastically improve refugee employment outcomes. We describe possible future work on multi-objective optimization, the dynamics of allocation, and the inclusion of refugee preferences.
