Abstract

When the subject is examined in terms of population growth rates of population growth rate for Turkey is known to be 12.8 per thousand. If we consider the population growth rate of Syria especially in terms of the migration wave coming from Syria in the recent years, this figure is 19.7 per thousand according to the same report. Despite clearly it is seen that war and chaos in Syria's population is increasing much more than Turkey. Moreover, population growth is calculated as an exponential function, which once again increases the gravity of the situation. When the total number of immigrants among some of the comparable total of 4.29% of the total immigrant asylum-seekers in Turkey this rate is of 2.13% of the world's refugees can be seen that 1.23%. These figures show that over excess, if evaluated on the basis of the world for Turkey. Considering the economic impacts, it is obvious that there is no increase in production against the claim that Syrian refugees have increased the population. Likewise, there will be no increase in tax revenues. Demand for goods and services increased, but this increase was clearly reflected in inflation since there was no increase in production. It is not possible for new industrial branches to emerge and the expansion of the market does not open new investment fields but on the contrary brings a contraction in government expenditures and an increase in consumption expenditures. It is known that the wages of workers are getting cheaper. This increases informal employment, which is already present in the market, and causes indifferent and cheap labor; it increases unemployment even more, especially in regions where the number of asylum seekers is high. Already, increasing costs of education and health services, which are running with scarce resources, and decreasing service quality are another problem area. The fact that there is no time consuming health expenditures and contribution to health services among the asylum seekers is also a major cost item and constitutes the basis of social upheaval.Â
