THE CHALLANGES IN THE ECONOMIC INTEGRATION OF SYRIAN WOMAN LIVING IN TURKEY

Syrian women constitute a significant part of the refugee population migrating to Türkiye. In the refugee crisis that started in 2011, humanitarian aid was given priority. However, meeting the needs of Syrian women who have been living in Türkiye requires long-term plans aiming at their economic integration. At this point, the difficulties experienced by Syrian women take place in a wide range. At the last point of the refugee crisis, from the 2023 general elections to the changing attitudes of the employers, the dynamics of the society were greatly affected, and the difficulties experienced in the economic integration of Syrian women continued to increase. As Syrian women are a crucial part of the refugee crisis, it is necessary to investigate the problems they face to propose solutions. Thus, this study examines the difficulties experienced in the economic integration of Syrian women living in Türkiye. It has been determined that the problems experienced are collected in certain areas: working conditions, cultural, social, and bureaucratic problems. The difficulties of Syrian women are discussed under these headings. As a result, inadequate regulations lead to abuse by employers and unfavorable working conditions, and this reduces the motivation of Syrian women to seek employment.
