结论 |
Syrian migrants in all three countries- Many Syrians are working or are willing to work, but many cannot find work.
- There are geographical mismatches between where Syrians are concentrated and where job growth is.
- Few Syrians have work permits, and pathways to formal employment are limited.
- Vocational training programs have not been well coordinated with job placement, market needs, or Syrians' skills.
- Informal employment is being permitted by governments by not enforcing work requirements strictly.
- Many host country workers resent Syrian migrants being in the labor force but also express compassion for their circumstances.
- Firms noted opportunities for Syrians particularly in middle-skill jobs in manufacturing.
Syrian migrants in Turkey- The lack of Turkish language skills is a prominent barrier to refugee employment.
- Syrians are active entrepreneurs and have been finding ways to get by.
- Syrians face difficulty having their education and professional certifications recognized.
Syrian migrants in Jordan- Structural economic problems and the ensuing economic slowdown were exacerbated by the arrival of refugees.
- Syrian refugees can work in limited sectors and occupations and are shut out from setting up businesses where they would have an advantage.
- Syrians are seen as hardworking.
Syrian migrants in Lebanon- As with Jordan, structural economic problems and the ensuing economic slowdown were exacerbated by the arrival of refugees.
- Public works and infrastructure projects are seen as way to create jobs for both Lebanese and Syrians.
- There are deep suspicions about Syrian workers, and a large discrepancy exists between perceptions and realities of the refugee situation.
