Changes in the labour market in five border cities: 2011-2014

Summary/Abstract: This study is based on evaluation of the partly official labour force datas concerning five border cities and the interviews conducted in these provinces. Here our purpose is to draw attention to the impact of the Syrian civil war on the labour market in Turkey and to make an assessment on the possible outcomes of this impact. As we know, according a circular issued by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the Syrian citizens who get the permit of residence can work, without restrictive evaluation, during their residence period. Especially as the rates of unemployment in South-East Anatolia Region are already higher than the rates of other regions, the joining of the Syrian immigrants to the labour market of this region would make more fragile the current situation. This will increase also the probability of getting the ground conducive for conflict between immigrants and local job seekers in the provinces of region. Especially in the informal economy the negative development of the existing wages and working conditions can be expected. This paper is considered to be a quest text of preparing the ground for regulation of labour market conditions over the current situation.
