Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, we directly and indirectly observed and analyzed the effects of the recent influx of Syrian refugees on the household behavior and intra-household decision-making mechanisms defined by social customs in the Turkish migrant community in Germany, using field surveys and statistical data. This research project revealed that human mobility, including the aspect of labor force, affects local communities and labor markets, and that this impact may be concentrated on certain people due to social customs.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

シリア難民の流入がドイツに及ぼす影響が注目される中，本研究課題は，それまであまり注目されなかった先住の移住者コミュニティーに対する影響を分析した．本研究課題で得られた諸結果は，マイノリティーとしての移住者が移住先社会と長期的にどう調和していくか，国が移住者を受け入れる際にどのようにすべきかを考える際の判断材料の一つとして利用可能であると思われる．
