The demographic landscape of Syrian refugees in Turkey, a major host country globally, is explored in this comprehensive book. It relies on a recent representative dataset to shed light on the evolving demographic situation of both the refugee community and the host community.

Conflicts and the ensuing unrest have compelled individuals to leave their homes and seek refuge in foreign lands, leading to a significant increase in refugee movements worldwide. Turkey currently hosts the largest refugee population globally, exerting a profound impact on its demographics. This has resulted in diverse demographic scenarios within refugee communities across the country.

This book delves into the profound effects of forced displacement on the demographic behavior of Syrian refugees in Turkey, particularly focusing on how transformed family structures, unregistered children, fertility behaviors, and early marriages have impacted their lives. It also contributes to the existing knowledge and discourse on refugee integration by shedding light on their experiences related to access to labor market opportunities, education opportunities, well-being, and mobility. By incorporating crucial demographic variables into the analysis, the book helps in linking the demographic profile of the Syrian community to the socio-economic challenges faced by Turkey.

Offering valuable insights into various dimensions of life, this book has a multi-disciplinary appeal and will serve as a valuable resource for academics, scholars, and researchers in demography, refugee studies, migration studies, and sociology. It will also be a valuable and unique reference work for policymakers, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
