Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate how the Syrian civil war influences Jordan's economy from the perspective of the labour market and the educational backgrounds of the refugees. Based on the systematic analysis of literature and peer-reviewed papers, a comprehensive analytical framework was developed. This framework is provided with an overview to discover the wage differences between refugees and native-born citizens in Jordan. Three results accompany this analytical report: first, Syrian refugees will have more employment opportunities in the labour market, but vice versa, their employment will increase the ratio of unemployment of Jordanian natives. Second, the Syrian crisis and the influx of refugees should be expected to have a detrimental impact on average wages. A clear sign of this phenomenon can be seen in how Syrian refugees are ready to receive lower salaries and tougher working circumstances in the secondary sector than Jordanians. Finally, educational level and quality of education would be affected negatively. Moreover, the majority of Syrian refugee children are assumed to be registered in schools. Equally important is the need to emphasise that these children will also take quite a long time to adapt to their new educational system.
