The Effect of the Life Profiles of Bulgarian Immigrants in Turkey on Their Satisfaction Level

Abstract

The aim of the present study is the examination of the life profiles and satisfaction states of 300 immigrants who have immigrated to Turkey from Bulgaria, who live in various neighborhoods of Turkey, who are registered at the Balkan Turks and Solidarity Association and who have accepted to participate in the study. The data were collected through using the “information form” consisting of 42 questions, which was prepared by the researchers who scanned the literature for this purpose. It was understood that 53.4% of those participants who are satisfied with living in Turkey were self-employed, while 32.1% of those who are not satisfied with living in Turkey were self-employed (p< 0,001). It was determined that, of those satisfied with living in Turkey, 56.3% have a job appropriate to their profession and qualification (those answering the question “yes”), and of those dissatisfied with living in Turkey, 73.5% percent do not have jobs appropriate to their profession and qualification (those answering the question “no”) (p< 0,001). It was determined that, of those stating, “my economic state would not be better if I were living in Bulgaria”, 94.3% was satisfied with living in Turkey (p< 0,05); 46.6% was benefitting from health services in an adequate manner; while of those not satisfied with living in Turkey, 35.8% was not able to benefit from health services to an adequate degree (p< 0,001). In conclusion, it was identified that socio-economic variables were important in the determination of the satisfaction levels of the people who migrated to Turkey from Bulgaria, and that those who managed to find jobs suitable to their profession and qualifications were satisfied 3.58 times more compared to the others.
