This edited volume delves into the intricate ways in which refugee communities in the Middle East have adapted to secure their livelihoods within the informal economy. With a specific focus on Lebanon and Jordan, which between 2011 and 2020 accommodated more refugees as a proportion of their population than any other countries in the world, the book explores the informal mechanisms adopted by Syrian refugees to integrate into the informal economies of these countries amidst significant challenges and barriers. The volume investigates how factors such as legality, temporality, connectedness, gender, and geography have shaped the emergence of refugee communities' informal adaptive mechanisms. Drawing on in-depth, original research among Syrian refugee tribal communities, agricultural workers, female-headed households, and micro-entrepreneurs, the book offers tangible policy and practice recommendations aimed at improving the situation of refugees and vulnerable populations who are engaged in the informal economy.
Highlighting the resilience and agency displayed by refugees, this edited volume's original community-based analysis holds appeal to students, researchers, and professionals across Middle East studies, refugee studies, informal labor economics, and development studies.
