This research investigates if remote work can be a solution toward a sustainable livelihood for vulnerable individuals or social groups, with a specific focus on refugees. From a literature analysis and the conclusions summarized from relevant live events, netnography research was put in place in order to analyze the digital presence and web-based discussion around this topic. In addition, six interviews were conducted: two with leading representatives of NGOs to compare totally different approaches when working with refugee populations, and four with international refugees, in order to add qualitative depth and relevance to the research. The main conclusions are the necessity of an individualized and participatory approach toward vulnerable individuals, a need for advocacy for a legislative framework that facilitates financial inclusion, the right to (remote) work and a dramatic change of narrative around refugees. It is also essential to fight discriminatory disadvantage and adverse digital incorporation. The two revolutionary game-changers are to engage in discussions with representatives of the private sector to educate them and make them consider refugees as valuable as any other untapped talent pool and to continue fostering fruitful collaborative partnerships among NGOs that work in the digital sphere.
