Syrian Refugees in the Turkish Labour Market: A Socio-Economic Analysis
Öz: This article explores the socio-economic conditions of Syrian refugees in Turkey with the help of the Household Labour Force Survey. Firstly, it describes and analyses some of the challenges derived from an expansive population pyramid, low school attendance rates and high labour market attachment from an early age. Then, it assesses the employment and wage structure of Syrian workers, including the estimation of returns to schooling and a test for employer discrimination towards Syrian refugees. On the one hand, the results suggest that refugees are not discriminated against comparable Turkish employees. On the other hand, for Syrians with university degrees, informal work arrangements and lack of prior learning recognition make their return to schooling five times lower than that of formally employed Turkish citizens.
Anahtar Kelime: Türkiye’de İşgücü Piyasasında Suriyeli Mülteciler: Sosyoekonomik Bir Analiz
Öz: Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki Suriyeli mültecilerin sosyo-ekonomik koşulları araştırılmaktadır.Araştırmada TÜİK’in Hanehalkı İşgücü Anketlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Öncelikle Türkiye’dekikalabalık Suriyeli nüfusun çocuk yaşlardan itibaren okula gitmek yerine çalışma hayatınayönelmesinden kaynaklanan sorunlar analiz edilmiştir. Sonrasında ise mültecilerin işyerindekidurumu, ücretleri, aldıkları eğitimin işgücü piyasasındaki getirisi ve işveren tarafından ayrımcılığamaruz kalıp kalmadıkları değerlendirme konusu yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları mültecilerinbenzer özelliklerdeki Türk çalışanlar ile kıyaslandıklarında ayrımcılığa maruz kalmadıklarına işaretetmektedir. Ancak üniversite mezunu Suriyelilerin diploma tanınırlığının bulunmaması ve iş yerindekayıt dışı çalışmaları nedeniyle, aldıkları eğitimin işgücü piyasasındaki getirisi Türk çalışanlara görebeşte bir düzeyindedir.
