I've always thought of being a refugee as a temporarily thing until the situation at the source country settles down.
That's true. But refugees who have lived and worked long-time in Germany can get the right to reside here permanently, independently from their right to asylum or similar protection. This is to encourage them to actually get a job rather than just rely on government handouts.
I think the idea of working while you are living as a refugee can be problematic. I'd be fine with refugees just relying on government assistance for the duration of their stay, assuming it isn't a decade long stay or something.
I'd assume that it's pretty rare that the situation that prompted someone to flee their home country actually resolves within a decade.
