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.
