Abstract
This thesis aims to understand the entrepreneurial experiences of Afghan refugees in the Netherlands in the context of Dutch opportunity structures. To answer the main research question, definitions and categories of opportunities, such as social, human, and financial capital, were constructed. Upon conducting the literature review, the topic of ethnic entrepreneurship was included in this research due to its focus on Afghan refugees. This topic included the concepts of enclave entrepreneurship and mixed embeddedness. Applying these concepts increases the chances of success as a refugee in the Netherlands. This thesis uses a qualitative research approach and contains 16 semi-structured interviews with Afghan refugee entrepreneurs in the Netherlands. The research was conducted according to a narrative method.
