Assessing the Level of Self-Reliance and Livelihood of Encamped Refugees. Syrian Refugees in Jordan

Anna-Mara Schoen

in Books from Rainer Hampp Verlag

Abstract: Achieving self-reliance among refugees is favoured by many international organisations, though hardly achieved for refugee camps. In many cases, deprived of their human rights, located in remote areas and without access to the local labour market, encamped refugees have no other opportunity than turning to negative coping mechanisms to survive, including sex work, child labour, crime and dangerous work in the informal sector. This book concentrates on measuring self-reliance and identifying factors influencing it in camp settings.
