The 2019 Refugee Proclamation, which is one of the very progressive refugee laws in thernworld, is aimed at ensuring the right to gainful employment without undue constraints.rnUnlike the 2004 refugee proclamation, the 2019 Proclamation eases the restriction in orderrnto align Ethiopian laws with that of the 1951 Refugee Convention. One of the challenges tornmake the right to wage-earning employment practical is lack of implementation tools likernregulation and directive. Moreover, incompatibility of labor law also influences thernimplementation of the new refugee legislation. The implementation of Refugees right tornwage-earning employment decided based on reference to and interpretation of otherrnrelevant laws like the labor law, Civil Servants Proclamation and Foreigners of EthiopianrnOrigin (FoEO) laws. Article 26(1) of the refugee proclamation sets the standard ofrntreatment for refugees and it extends most favored treatment that accorded to foreignrnnationals in Ethiopia. The most favored foreign nationals in Ethiopia are FoEO. Ergo, thernright to wage-earning employment accorded to FoEO be extended to Recognized refugeesrnand asylum seekers on certain requirements and the subsequent procedural laws shall staternthose entitlements and requirements clearly. In this respect, the implementation of the 2019rnrefugee law needs harmonization with other relevant laws governing refugee rights. Thisrnthesis demonstrates how important it is to implement the right to wage-earning employmentrnof refugees by harmonizing other existing laws. Thus, the aim of this study is to further identify and clarify the gaps and recommend solutions to implement the right to wage-rnearning employment of refugees without unreasonable restrictions.
