“The Syrian crisis has led to the displacement of over
Syrians into neighboring countries”
5.6m THE IMPACT OF INFLUX: TWO NEW WORKING PAPERS
Now in its eighth year, the Syrian crisis has led to the displacement of over 5.6 million Syrians into neighboring countries. Turkey and Lebanon host the highest number of registered Syrian refugees, with 3.6 million and 950,000 respectively, and Syrians now represent approximately a quarter of the Lebanese population. This influx has had important – and mixed – impacts on Turkey and Lebanon’s economy, labor market, social systems and society more broadly. Two new Working Papers, published by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development, analyze the impacts of this influx on the respective countries. Published in the context of broader research conducted on the development-displacement nexus, and co-funded
by OFID, the Working Papers discuss aspects related to protection and humanitarian responses to Syrian refugees, as well as development-related issues for the host country. The papers outline the evolution of the refugee influx in Lebanon and Turkey, the characteristics and legal status of Syrians in the countries, the impact of the refugee crisis on various sectors, as well as wider societal implications, and the relevant national policies and responses. The papers provide a comprehensive overview of the current situation in Turkey and Lebanon, and offer a solid basis for those interested in learning more about the impacts of the Syrian refugee crisis for these two important host countries.

BRIDGING REFUGEE PROTECTION AND DEVELOPMENT
The roundtable and its results will feed into an ICMPD study Bridging refugee protection and development, which is co-funded by OFID. The study’s main goal is to enhance knowledge about the potential of protection-oriented policies to support durable solutions and resilience-based development. Ultimately, the study aims to propose viable policy options to address the development-displacement
nexus, developed based on input from key stakeholders from major refugee- hosting countries, donors and implementing partners in the field. The roundtable event was held on the sidelines of ICMPD’s 3rd Vienna Migration Conference – co- sponsored by OFID – at the Aula of Sciences in Austria’s capital city. The title of this year’s conference was: From Crisis Management to Future Governance.
