Over the last fifty years, the pattern of family life in Turkey has been seriously affected by migration. Despite this, there remains a high degree of solidarity typified by transfers of income, material goods and cultural mores between and within family generations. This article is based on the life histories of fifteen migrant families living in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. In-depth interviews were used to collect information about at least three generations in each family. Information was collected about occupational, educational and migration histories, property ownership, care of dependents, and parent-child relations covering three generations.

Interregional relations : perspectives on the summit of South American- Arab countries ‘new’ patterns of engagement Hall, Marsha Marie; Altunışık, Meliha; Department of Middle East Studies (2015) This thesis examines migration management in Turkey and its impact upon Syrians as migration patterns, policy, and structure in the country are changing. To address such changes and align policies with European Union and international norms, Turkey enforced the Law on Foreigners and International Protection in April 2014, which signifies a shift in governmental practices and discourses on migration and establishes a migration coordinating directorate. At the same time, local, national, international and sup...
Home Country Parliamentary Representation of Diasporas: The Case of Turkey Yedekçi Schelhaas, Ayşe; Ayata, Ayşe; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2021-10-25) Turkey’s diaspora in Europe, constituting around five million citizens, has been central to Turkish domestic politics since the early days of mass labour migration in the 1960s. The Turkish Parliament, as the ultimate representative body, has played a crucial role both in shaping diaspora policies and defining who “the diaspora” is as individual MPs and party groups have placed diaspora-related issues high on the agenda, integrating these issues into various legislative processes. This dissertation looks at...
Health problems among UN refugees at a family medical centre in Ankara, Turkey Yaman, H; Kut, A; Yaman, A; Ungan, M (Informa UK Limited, 2002-06-01) Objectives - Political lability in the Near East has brought about the migration of refugees from adjacent countries to Turkey in recent years. To provide an effective health service for refugees, a needs assessment has to be done. UN refugees referring to a family medical centre located in Ankara, Turkey, were therefore investigated for health problems.
Housing production under less-regulated market conditions in Turkey Türel, Ali; KOÇ, HÜLYA (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-03-01) In recent years, the numbers of annual housing starts in Turkey have greatly exceeded the increases in the number of households. Such high levels of housing output occur under less-regulated and highly competitive market conditions, and when conventional housing policies associated with a welfare state are not introduced. In addition, the decentralized planning system and the potential for profit through housing investments when compared to most other sectors appear to have been instrumental in the high lev...
The case of conditional cash transfer for education (ccte) programme for syrians and other refugee children: as a strategy for supporting education of refugee children Çalık, Damla; Zırh, Besim Can; Department of Social Policy (2021-10-8) Through the years, the number of people coming from Syria has increased, and now it is the 10th year of crisis, and Turkey is still known as "the country hosting the largest number of refugees in the world." The crucial point about this statistic is the striking fact that almost 50% of them are children, and almost 40% of them are out of school. Turkey expanded the national Conditional Cash Transfer for Education Programme to increase the schooling among refugee children, considering the economic vulnerabil...
