PhD thesis proposal: The Refugee Dilemma: Syrian Refugees' Effects on Labor Markets, and Socio- Cultural Stabilities in Germany, and Turkey (original) (raw)

Wars, revolutions, and natural disasters will inevitably lead to the emergence of refugees and IDPs. During critical situations, their numbers are fluctuating from the millions to tens of millions of people (as it happened during years of the First and Second World Wars). Nowadays, globalization has allowed a large number of refugees, and IDPs to move over long distances with the use of modern means of transports. Among other things, it had just transferred problems of third world countries to the developed countries, where the legal standards do not allow adequate ways of dealing with them. Current UN statistics, are significantly underestimated, according to competent experts, determines the number of refugees and IDPs is about 22 million. And this number is growing, and in the long-term trend, it is clearly negative. The unsafe situation in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern states forces local people to migrate to better places of living. The majority of these refugees are Syrian asylum seekers who escaped from the Civil war in Syria. Syrian refugees mostly choose to migrate to states like Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Germany, etc. However, such refugee flow doesn’t have the same impact in the host countries equally, it differs depending on development, demographic situation, and a list of other factors of the state. Therefore, the chosen case of differentials of refugee flow impacts in German, and Turkish socio-cultural values, and labor markets is very interesting. Germany has hosted 484,000 asylum seekers, whereas as a frontline state in Turkey this number is fluctuating around 2,620,553. Although, the refugee flows have different impacts on these countries.
