| Summary: | The Syrian crisis has led to rapid and
large-scale population displacement. This paper has two main
aims. (i) It documents the size and timing of the Syrian
refugee influx into Jordan, Lebanon, and Kurdistan,
characterizing the forced nature of displacement and
exploring factors that influenced the decision to flee and
subsequently move within the host country. (ii) The paper
describes the daily living conditions of refugees after
displacement, documenting vulnerability along several
dimensions, such as housing access and quality, labor market
attachment, and financial security. The data sources include
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees'
registration database and multi-country, multi-topic surveys
conducted in 2015-16. |
