Social impact bond feasibility study tackling migrants’ unemployment: capacitação4job

Abstract

Capacitação4Job (C4Job) is a project of the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) that implements a solution to address the social problem of migrants’ unemployment. This thesis is the result of participating on the fourth Social Impact Bond (SIB) Research Program at Laboratório de Investimento Social and it assesses the feasibility of using a SIB to finance JRS to scale to Oporto and to expand its target population. In addition, this thesis aims at contributing towards mobilizing private investors and public entities to work together with an innovative solution for the employability of migrants.
