This book examines the changing demographic situation of Syrian refugees
and the host community in Turkey, one of the major refugee hosting countries
in the world, relying on a recent representative dataset.
Conflicts and the resulting unrest force people to flee their countries and
take refuge in foreign lands. Such refugee movements across the world have
increased significantly in recent times. Turkey accounts for the greatest refugee
population in the world today. This has drastically impacted the Turkish
demographics, leading to different demographic situations in refugee
communities in the country. This book presents an in-depth research on
the impact of forced displacement on the demographic behaviour of Syrian
refugees in Turkey in general, and more specifically the way transformed
family structures, unregistered children, fertility behaviours and early
marriages impacted their lives. The book also contributes to the existing
knowledge and discourse on refugee integration by shedding light on their
experiences related to access to labour market opportunities and education
opportunities, wellbeing and mobility. It also helps in linking demography
of Syrian community to the socio-economic challenges in Turkey by means
of incorporating crucial demographic variables into the analysis.
Offering valuable insights into various dimensions of life, this book has
an interdisciplinary appeal and will thus be a key resource for academics
and scholars of demography, refugee studies, migration studies and sociology.
It will also be a valuable and unique reference work for people in
governments, international agencies and non-governmental organizations.
