The purpose of this study is to describe the case of working life
affected by the international irregular migration caused by the Syrian civil
war, which was started in 2011. The study was conducted in Şanlıurfa province
of Turkey, which is one of the most affected cities from the Syrian migration
and where Syrian immigrants mostly reside. The research is designed as a case
study. The empirical material of the study was generated using semi-structured
interviews, which then descriptively analyzed and interpreted. Findings
revealed that kinship and already-settled Syrian migrant population is found to
be determinant on job finding and workplace choice, location selection for
entrepreneurs, and decisions on migration destination. Current situation of the
working conditions, reasons for employment, and the problems associated with
working life experienced by immigrant workers were exposed.
