Chapter Chapter 3 in The Syrian Refugee Crisis and Lebanon's Economic Landscape, 2024, pp 31-46 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter offers a rigorous examination of the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on Lebanon’s gross domestic product (GDP) and key economic sectors, including tourism, agriculture, and manufacturing. This analysis not only highlights the shifts in economic output but also provides a nuanced understanding of how the influx of refugees has altered the economic landscape of Lebanon. By employing a comparative pre-and-post crisis analysis, the chapter identifies the critical ways in which the refugee presence has contributed to economic strains and opportunities alike. It also features case studies of local businesses, offering insights into the operational challenges and adaptive strategies within the Lebanese economic context. Through this comprehensive approach, the chapter sheds light on the multifaceted economic ramifications of the refugee crisis, contributing to policy discussions and strategies aimed at resilience and recovery.
