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.
