Syrian Refugees in the Turkish Labour Market
This report aims, precisely, at filling the information gap by providing statistics on Syrians' living and working conditions, on possible internal migration patterns and on the impact of providing refugees with work permits.
The succession of revolts that followed the Arab Spring was typically characterized by short-termed demonstrations and/or outbursts of violence in most of the affected countries; all but one: Syria.
Since March 2011 until now none of the multiple belligerents fighting in Syria have been able to regain full control of the country, causing, according to UNHCR, more than 5.68 millions of registered refugees of which 3.6 millions were welcomed by Turkey under the temporary protection regime. For Turkey in particular, this unprecedented situation has not only produced a humanitarian emergency but also has likely affected the lives of millions of Turkish people.
In this context, the demand for policy responsesis pressing and so does the demand for relevant information.
