  • Summary

    Precarious working conditions have been a significant global challenge across many countries, and the impact of precarious employment conditions, particularly on low-income refugees, has led to dramatic experiences. Drawing on a qualitative study, this chapter investigates the precarity experiences of Syrian refugees in Turkey. Our exploration which highlights the vulnerable nature of refugees in the work environment also reveals the unwelcoming treatments they face in social life. Our multilevel analyses represent macro-, meso-, and micro-level findings. The macro-level findings point to a lack of migration policy, insufficient level of employment laws and labour unionisation that worsen the precarious conditions. At the meso-level analysis, we found inadequate organisational level interventions by firms such as unethical treatment, intimidation for noticing police and wage theft. Finally, the micro-level results focused on social exclusion. The study contributes to debates on insecurity, inequality, diversity, and human rights in migration studies.
