“…Household authority is concerned with trying to provide the family with continuous protection against the external environment. Poverty in the household strengthens this protection instinct because the head of the family only has his family members as support and so he must protect them [ 5 , 84 , 85 ]. Therefore, the social support that children receive from their family members to look forward to the future is weak.…”

Diyarbakır and Şanlıurfa (TRC2 Region) are the cities within the provinces of Turkey that have a high prevalence of poverty with an associated high child population. Due to the poverty in the cities of Diyarbakır and Şanlıurfa, this study investigated children working as a carrier in six purposefully selected districts, street markets, with the aim of providing social support for them to look forward to the future with hope. The research was conducted in 2019 by using questionnaires through face-to-face interviews, to cover all children in selected street markets within the scope of the full sampling volume. The data were analyzed using a structural equation modeling method. According to the results, 61.2% of working children are students, but most of them do not go to attend school; 8.7% of working children are the children of the Syrian refugees. Children work an average of 4.3 days a week and 8.6 h a day, with an average income of USD 1.6/day. As a result of the analysis, it was shown that the children received the most social support from their schoolmates (r = 0.428) to have hope in the future. This result shows that it is compulsory to include children in the education system. In this context, it is recommended that the financial contribution of children to their families should be paid by the state within the scope of social assistance and solidarity. Besides, strengthening social awareness and providing solidarity would contribute to the solution of the problem. The data obtained from this research could be used in studies and policies, to develop the concept of hope for combating poverty in regions with similar socio-economic characteristics. This research is the first of its type conducted on this issue in Turkey.

“…Individuals want to live in places where they can respond to their needs such as nutrition, shelter, safety, education and where they can be peaceful and where they can hope better living conditions in the future. On the other hand, these conditions cannot be provided occasionally due to the individual, political, economic, social or cultural reasons (Ünal, 2014;Sevinç, Davran & Sevinç, 2018). Immigrant and refugee are two terms used interchangeably although they have different meanings.…”

“…İnsanlar beslenme, barınma, güvenlik, eğitim gibi ihtiyaçlarına cevap bulabildikleri, huzurlu olabilecekleri ve gelecekte daha iyi koşullarda yaşayabileceklerine yönelik inanç taşıdıkları yerlerde yaşamak isterler. Bu koşullar zaman zaman gerek bireysel gerekse siyasi, ekonomik, sosyal ya da kültürel sebeplerle tamamen ya da kısmen sağlanamamaktadır (Ünal,2014;Sevinç, Davran ve Sevinç, 2018 (Düzkaya, 2016;Yazıcı ve Düzkaya, 2017;Kaya ve Yılmaz Eren, 2015).…”

The biggest migration in Turkey's history began in 2011 with the beginning of the civil war in Syria. Approximately 3.6 million citizens of Syria have logged in Turkey since then. According to data published by The Directorate General of Migration Management 2018, about 1.6 million of these Syrians in Turkey are children in the school-age and young people that age in higher education. It cannot be ignored the importance of educating as qualified individuals such a great number of people not only for the future of Syrians but also Turkey's future wellness. For this reason, this study aimed to determine current status by examining studies done for education of Syrians' since 2011. Academic studies, reports prepared by non-governmental organizations and statistics provided by government institutions have been reviewed within this purpose. Results revealed three challenges experienced in the education of Syrian refugees; low access rates to school, language barrier and lack of qualified teachers. These challenges and suggestions were discussed in this study.

Since the 1980s, a decreasing trend in employment and real value added shares in the manufacturing sector in some developing countries including Turkey is considered a sign of premature deindustrialization (Rodrik, 2016). We examine this argument and the effects of trade shares and policies on the industrialization process by utilizing different openness measures for the periods 1995-2009 and 2005-2014 for more than twenty manufacturing and service sectors. The estimations show that the value added shares of net exporter manufacturing sectors increase significantly and the employment shares decrease significantly, which may suggest employment deindustrialization in Turkey. However, this negative effect is not valid for all manufacturing sectors. Hence, we conclude that Turkey has not been on the deindustrialization track during the period considered. Estimates for the relationship between openness and deindustrialization suggest that trade, FDI inflows, and backward participation have negative impacts on the share of employment and value added of manufacturing sectors. Overall, Turkey should design and pursue proactive trade and financial policies to effectively integrate with the global economy and benefit from it.
