Syrian Refugees and Human Capital Accumulation of Working-Age Native Children in Turkey
研究了叙利亚难民涌入如何影响土耳其劳动年龄本地儿童的入学和就业,发现儿童从工作与学习兼顾转向只上学,男孩入学率上升,但女孩不就业也不上学的比例增加。
The arrival of Syrian refugees has significantly changed the labor-market conditions and the relative abundance of different skill groups in Turkey. We examine how the arrival of Syrian refugees affects school enrollment and employment of working-age native children using a difference-in-differences instrumental variable methodology. We find a significant drop in employment, largely due to children shifting from work-school balance to education only. School enrollment rises for boys, especially those with educated parents. However, the rate of girls not engaged in employment or education increases, particularly among those with less-educated parents, but decreases for boys with more-educated parents.
