This Research Note represents the first in a two part series, dealing with the experience of social work with immigrants and refugees in Finland. In this part, the author identifies key ideas and outlines research findings in the major area of employment, including a discussion of the skills and abilities which social workers need and can contribute in this area. The next issue of the Journal will present research evidence in relation to a range of community and cultural questions which arise from this work, concluding with further discussion of successful social work in this field."
