Abstract:

Abstract From the past to the present, societies in human history have migrated due to war, exile, natural disasters, etc. Individuals have been affected economically, sociologically, and psychologically during these migrations. This research focuses on individuals who have spread around the world for different reasons, have fled dangerous situations at home and sought refuge in other countries, and are now the working population. This study aims to investigate the socio-economic and psychological conditions of Syrian refugees who have had jobs after migration to Turkey since 2011. After the war between Syria and the regime forces, governments have focused on solving refugee problems, while researchers have neglected the longing that refugees feel for their homeland. Our research is essential in examining how migration affects individuals socio-economically and psychologically and how individuals overcome this painful process. “The Reality of Migration in Today’s Turkey: Where Are We in Global Mobility?” is one of the articles written on this subject and has revealed the necessity for me to conduct this study. In this study, 13 Syrian refugees who are business owners were interviewed in the Nizip district of Gaziantep province. The questions prepared by the researcher and the questions in the semi-structured interview form were asked of the refugees. According to the answers obtained, codes and themes were extracted, and data were analyzed. A descriptive analysis technique was used to analyze the data. According to the results of the research, many data were obtained about the socio-economic and psychological conditions of Syrian refugees in Turkey.
