The contexts into which refugees and asylum seekers resettle, particularly the socio-political context as represented through various discourses, shape their occupational opportunities, health, and well-being. This article explores current literature in regard to the contemporary Australian discursive climate, particularly in relation to the way it may shape the occupational experiences of refugees and asylum seekers. In addition, a synthesis of current research regarding the occupational experiences of refugees and asylum seekers during their period of resettlement is presented. These two topics of research, drawn from 42 articles, were thematically analyzed. Identified themes include imagined possibilities prior to arrival, establishing occupational routines on entry to the Australian community, and pursuing a personally meaningful life. The authors argue that consideration of the way in which discourse shapes the lived world, and in turn, the occupational opportunities of refugees and asylum seekers, is of key importance for those working with these marginalized groups.
难民和寻求庇护者重新定居的环境，尤其是通过各种话语所呈现的社会政治环境，塑造了他们的职业机会、健康状况和幸福感。本文探讨了有关当代澳大利亚话语氛围的现有文献，特别是其可能塑造难民和寻求庇护者职业经历的方式。此外，还对难民和寻求庇护者重新定居期间的职业经历的当前研究进行了综合阐述。从42篇文章中提取的这两个研究主题进行了主题分析。确定的主题包括抵达前的想象可能性、进入澳大利亚社区时建立职业常规以及追求有个人意义的生活。作者认为，对于与这些边缘化群体打交道的人来说，考虑话语塑造现实世界以及进而塑造难民和寻求庇护者职业机会的方式至关重要。
