Initially concentrated in the southeastern regions, these refugees now reside throughout the country. There are many questions from policy makers regarding the impact of the population of Syrians Under Temporary Protection on the host community. This paper examines the impact of migrants on regional host communities from a poverty perspective. The paper does not find any negative impacts on poverty for the host community from the increasing population of Syrians Under Temporary Protection as of 2013, despite the high poverty rates experienced among the recent migrants.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOCOMMUNITIESHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYPOVERTY LINELOCAL POPULATIONSHELTERINCOME POVERTYINCOMEPOVERTY RATESINFLUX OF REFUGEESPOVERTY ESTIMATESREGIONAL LEVELLABOR FORCESERVICESPOPULATION GROUPSPUBLIC SERVICESIMMIGRANTSPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPROJECTFEMALE HEADED HOUSEHOLDSCITIESNATIONAL LEVELSOCIAL ASSISTANCECONFLICTHOUSEHOLD DEMOGRAPHICSREGIONNATIONAL POPULATIONECONOMIC ACTIVITYEDUCATED WORKERSREGIONAL CONTROLSLABOR MARKETREGIONAL POVERTYMEASURING POVERTYFORCED MIGRATIONNEGATIVE IMPACTJOB OPPORTUNITIESHOUSEHOLD HEADDESCRIPTIVE STATISTICSWORKING POPULATIONFAMILY SIZEMIGRATIONTEMPORARY PROTECTIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMENUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSPOVERTY STATUSESTIMATES OF POVERTYCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURESIGNIFICANT IMPACTSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL PROTECTIONEMPIRICAL MODELCOMPARISON GROUPDEPENDENCY RATIODEPENDENCY RATIOSMIGRANTSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTHOUSEHOLD ASSETSPOVERTY PROFILEHOUSEHOLD HEADSELDERLYREGIONAL POPULATIONRESPECTDESIGNWELFARE QUINTILESPROGRESSHOUSEHOLD LEVELBORDER REGIONSPOPULATION TRENDSDATA AVAILABILITYCONSUMPTIONMIGRANTPOLICIESLARGE NUMBERS OF REFUGEESPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERDEPENDENT VARIABLEGENDERREGIONAL DIFFERENCESHOMESURBAN CENTERSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYREFUGEE POPULATIONSPOVERTY MAPPINGGEOGRAPHIC REGIONOCCUPATIONHOUSEHOLDREFUGEERURALREFUGEESMARKETPOPULATIONSPOPULATION ESTIMATESHIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEESPOLICYCITIZENSREFUGEE CAMPSDATA SETSDEMOGRAPHIC CHANGESTARGETINGREGIONAL AGGREGATIONECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC INTEGRATIONLEVEL OF EDUCATIONUNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEESREGIONSREGIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGYWARHOUSEHOLDSHIGH POVERTYREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTNUMBER OF CHILDRENPOVERTYIMMIGRATIONPOPULATIONMARITAL STATUSLIVING CONDITIONSPOLICY RESEARCHCIVIL WARPOVERTY RATECOMMUNITYNATIVE POPULATIONPOORWOMENMEDITERRANEAN REGIONCOUNTRY OF ORIGINNATIVESREMITTANCESSAFETYSECONDARY EDUCATIONFEMALELONG RUNECONOMIC CONDITIONSPOVERTY ANALYSISEXTENDED FAMILYDEVELOPMENT POLICYGROWTHWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-7542
