Core problem Since the beginning of the conflict in Syria in 2011 and the associated migration movements, the Government of Turkey has made great efforts to accommodate Syrian refugees. At the end of 2019, 3.6 million Syrian refugees were registered in Turkey. Of the 3.6 million Syrian refugees, an estimated 2.1 million are of working age. This number has been relatively stable for years and there is currently no end in sight to the conflict situation in Syria. The measure helps to improve the livelihoods and self-determined lives of Syrian refugees with temporary residence permits in Turkey (SuTP), other refugee groups with legal residence status in Turkey and disadvantaged Turkish citizens in the host communities.
