Abstract
Suriye’de başlayan iç savaşın ardından ilk olarak 2011 yılının Mart ayında Suriyeli sığınmacı akını gerçekleşmiştir. O dönemde Suriyelilerin ülkelerine geri döneceği beklentisi hâkimdi. Türkiye, gelen bu akına açık kapı politikasını benimsedi. Fakat yoğun göç akımı günümüzde de devam etmektedir. Savaşın uzun sürmesi, gelen sığınmacıların çoğunluğunun kampların dışında yaşaması, kayıt dışı istihdamla birlikte Türk ekonomisi yeni bir boyut kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki Suriyeli mülteci kadınların işgücü piyasasındaki yeri ve işgücü piyasa deneyimlerinden yola çıkarak karşılaşmış oldukları sorunlar araştırılmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Ankara ilinde 10 Suriyeli kadın ile derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler kodlanıp temalar altında yorumlanmıştır. Mülteci kadınların işyerindeki durumu, ücretleri, aldıkları eğitimin işgücü piyasasındaki getirisi ve işveren tarafından ayrımcılığa maruz kalıp kalmadıkları değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucu, Suriyeli kadın mültecilerin benzer özelliklerdeki Türk kadın çalışanlar ile kıyaslandıklarında ayrımcılığa maruz kaldıklarına işaret etmektedir
