The aim of this thesis is to analyse the role of active labour market policies in Syrian refugees’ access to the labour market in Turkey, from the perspective of the normative framework of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and ILO Turkey Office’s experiences in supporting Syrian refugees’ access to the labour market. Throughout the thesis, ALMPs refer to a variety of measures offered by the government and non-governmental actors to facilitate access to employment. The primary reasons for focusing on the ILO is (i) its focus both on the right to work and rights at work, (ii) its role in the development of a rights-based discourse on migration and forced displacement with its guiding documents (conventions and recommendations), and (iii) its unique tripartite structure. It is presumed that ALMP play a positive role in facilitating refugees’ access to labour market and help reducing poverty and reduce social assistance dependency in the long term. From this perspective, the ALMPs implemented by the ILO in Turkey are analysed, providing an overview of the labour supply and demand aspects, programmes focusing on improving the labour market governance as well as the partnership modalities and cross-cutting challenges faced.

An Analysis of Turkish migration and asylum policies in the framework of world systems theory: labour market integration of the Syrians under “temporary protection” Çam, Faruk; Göksel, Asuman; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2019) This thesis analyses Turkish migration and refugee policies within the framework of World Systems Theory, with a special focus on Syrian refugee crisis which was started in 2011. Republic of Turkey has experienced a massive influx of Syrian refugees in a short period of time. Republic of Turkey, having still been holding the geographical limitation to the 1951 Geneva Convention, does not recognize Syrian asylum seekers as refugees in the legal sense. Regardless of their legal status, Syrian refugees had to ...
Rethinking Asylum Policies in the EU lessons from the Syrian refugee Crisis Eralp, Yakup Atila; Yıldız, Ayselin Gözde (null; 2015-03-07) The Syrian refugee crisis at the doorstep of the EU once more demonstrated the inadequacies of the EU member states as regards their commitments to asylum and international protection. While little progress has been achieved in terms of EU’s aims to have a Common European Asylum System, it is observed that EU is more likely externalising its asylum practices towards non-member third countries in a securitized context which creates more challenges across a broad region including the EU’s immediate neighbourh...
From Trade Unions as Major Labour Organisations to Human Resources Departments: What are the Factors behind this Transition? Rittersberger, Helga İda (2009-10-01) The aim of this study is to understand the reasons for the changes occurring in labour organisations and workmanship in Turkey through a study based on workers’ experiences. The study is based on field research that was conducted during 2004 and 2005 with workers from the electronics and textile sectors in Ankara, Bursa and Istanbul. These sectors were chosen especially for the fact that they have existed in Turkey since before the 1980s and have had significant impacts on the industrialisation and transfor...
