The Syrian Refugee Crisis and Lebanon’s Economic Landscape
The Impact of Forced Migration on GDP, Unemployment, Inflation and TradeThis book provides unique insight into the economic and humanitarian challenges facing Lebanon following the Syrian refugee crisis. It examines the drivers of GDP fluctuation, unemployment, inflation, and trade upheavals that have defined the economic condition in Lebanon over recent years and details the responses to the refugee crisis both within Lebanon and within the international community. The ways in which the refugee crisis has fundamentally changed the Lebanese economy are outlined, with a particular focus on unemployment and labour market dynamics. Practical policy recommends to aid economic resilience and adaptation are also discussed. This book presents the challenges faced by Lebanon within a broader global narrative, drawing parallels, extracting lessons, and proposing strategies for a unified international response. It will be of interest to researchers and policymakers working within migration and labour economics. ISBN: 9783031684708, 3031684702
