Professor Dr. Hasan Okuyucu, a faculty member at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, was a guest of presenter Abdurrahman Yazıcı on Haberler.com. He stated that the amount of skilled labor among Syrians living in Turkey is extremely low. He mentioned that if Syrians were to return to their country, numerous job opportunities would arise for Turkish citizens.
According to the data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), there are approximately 3 million 175 thousand unemployed people in Turkey. If Syrians return to their countries, many sectors in Turkey will face vacancies.
Prof. Dr. Hasan Okuyucu, a faculty member at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, was a guest of presenter Abdurrahman Yazıcı on Haberler.com. Emphasizing that the return of Syrians will contribute to employment rates, Prof. Dr. Hasan Okuyucu stated that the employment of Syrians in heavy industry is low.
Prof. Dr. Okuyucu continued his statements as follows: The amount of skilled labor among Syrians residing in Turkey is not very high. Many of our industrialists have not taken measures to employ Syrians for the long term. I do not believe that the number of Syrians in heavy industry is high. The sudden migration of Syrians will not have a negative impact on industrial production. Syrians have not yet reached a point where they will provide significant input to the economy in Turkey. The employment rates of Syrians in the heavy industry sector are very, very low.
