Abstract

Background This is a protocol for a Campbell Review. The objectives are as follows: Objectives This review systematically collects and synthesizes evidence from evaluations of causal effects of interventions designed to improve employment outcomes for non‐Western immigrants. The review aims to answer the following questions: 1) Do interventions designed to improve the economic self‐sufficiency for non‐Western immigrants affect participants employment, use of cash assistance, income, or job retention? 2) Do effects differ depending on programme content or populations served?
