Abstract:
The Syrian population influx has dislocated a significant number of people (6.7 million of people outside the Syrian borders, 6.5 million of people among the different provinces of Syria). The biggest group among this moving population between borders has integrated into the Turkish society, and economy. From the macro and micro perspectives, the health system integration is significantly graded by the Syrian population. We will focus on the early age group, among the refugees, as their health vulnerabilities, and health improvements will create much larger effects throughout their lifetime. What we aim in this paper is to bring forward an objective micro-level outcome that will allow us to measure two things that was crucial in the life cycle of the refugee population: the war effect which will create a push factor for them to start moving, and an integration effect which will measure the time-continuous, and time-discrete increase in their health outcomes, as a result of relatively cost-free integration into a more developed health system. The Demographic Health Survey (DHS) 2018 data that we utilize gives us an empirical advantage for identification for two reasons; it differentiates the health outcome of children, in multi-child families depending on where they were born, which we will call an intra-Syrian effect, and it allows us to compare the situation of the Syrian children vis-a-vis the average child health outcomes in the society they are integrating into (what we call the inter-Syrian effect). The results suggest that Syrians remain underneath the Turkish average, for many early child development, and vital health access, however, after integration significant positive developments occur, in terms of compensating for the negative war effect, and in terms of the second effect (integration/adaptation effect) that they have started to converge to the Turkish average, as they have spent more years in Turkey.

Özet:
2011 yılında Suriye’de başlayan iç savaş ile birlikte 6.7 milyon Suriyeli ülke sınırları dışına çıkmak zorunda kalmıştır, aynı zamanda yaklaşık 6.5 milyon Suriyeli de ülke içinde farklı bölgelere göç etmek durumunda kalmıştır. Ülke sınırları dışına çıkmak zorunda kalan Suriyeli göçmenlerin çok büyük bir bölümü Türkiye’ye göç etmiştir ve tamamiyle Türk sağlık sistemine entegre olmuştur. Bu çalışma, Türk sağlık sistemine entegre olan Suriyeli nüfusun yaşam boyunca sağlık kırılganlığı ve sağlık gelişimi açılarından önemli etkiler gösteren erken yaş grubunu ele almıştır. Bu çerçevede, çalışmanın temel amacı göç eden Suriyeli nüfusun entegre oldukları Türk sağlık sistemi içerisinde mikro seviyede sağlık çıktılarındaki değişikliği ölçmek ve değerlendirmektir. Çalışma, Demographic Health Survey (DHS) 2018 veri setini kullanmaktadır; kullanılan veri seti çalışmaya iki önemli avantaj sağlamaktadır; birincil olarak, kullanılan veri seti erken yaş grubunun sağlık çıktılarını diğer yaş gruplarından demografik özelliklere göre ayrıştırmaktadır, ikincil olarak da, savaş nedeniyle ülkelerinden göç eden Suriyeli çocukların sağlık çıktılarının Türkiye’de entegre oldukları toplumun ortalama sağlık çıktıları ile karşılaştırılmasını sağlamaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuçları göstermektedir ki, Suriyeli nüfus erken çocukluk gelişimi ve önemli yaşamsal göstergelerde Türk nüfusunun gerisinde kalmıştır. Diğer yandan, Suriyeli nüfusun Türk sağlık sistemine entegrasyonu ile birlikte oldukça olumlu gelişmeler meydana gelmiştir; Suriyeli nüfusun Türkiye’de geçirdiği zamanın artmasına parallel olarak sağlık çıktılarının Türk nüfusunun ortalamasına yaklaşarak iyileştiği gözlemlenmiştir.
