Abstract

Among those Sudanese refugees in Chad, registration records show that most were in professional, semi-skilled or non-skilled occupations or students. Since the onset of the crisis in April 2023, skilled labour registration increased from 0% to 0.1%, from 12 to 236 people and semi-skilled decreased from 17.8% to 16.3%. However, in actual number, the number of semi-skilled people almost double from some 63,000 to 124,000 people. Subtle shifts were also evident between those arriving in 2023 and 2024, with slightly more professional and semi-skilled labourers and fewer individuals with no occupation listed. The percentage of students also increased from 5.5% to 11.1% between 2023 and 2024 (Source: UNHCR Registration Data).
