The mobility of displaced Syrians - an economic and social analysis
The World Bank, UNHCR
Highlights
This report analyzes the spontaneous mobility of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. To do this, it follows a five-step integrated analytical strategy: first, a review of international experience helps identify factors that contribute to mobility (a.k.a. push and pull factors), then, the conditions faced by Syrians inside and outside Syria along these factors are investigated. Next, the relative importance of each factor is estimated by using actual returns to Syria that have taken place so far. Finally, potential roles that can be played by these factors going forward are simulated with a scenario-based approach.
