Book excerpt: This study is the second part of a report on the conditions of Afghan refugees in Pakistan after the emergency relief phase. Its goal is to find answers to four questions concerning the refugee situation in the two sample frontier villages of Barawal and Orakzai: a) where do refugees obtain their food and income; b) what social and economic links do they have with the community; c) does the provision of free food and relief deter refugees from engaging in productive economic activities; and d) what are the best ways of identifying and assisting vulnerable groups? The report is divided into seven sections: Introduction; The Refugee Intake and Food Distribution Experience; The Refugee Communities; Refugee Interaction with Local People; Summary Findings; Conclusions; and Photographic Documentation. The following recommendations conclude the report: 1) refugee-initiated income-generating projects which are appropriate to Pakistan's development policies should receive international and local support; 2) newly-arrived refugees should be given a hundred per cent relief while aid to those settled for more than two years should be phased out by gradual monthly reductions; 3) careful monitoring of the phasing out process must ensure that, at each step, refugee income is adequate; and 4) refugees should be well-informed about reasons for, and the modalities of, the phasing out with a trial period at the outset.

Book excerpt: Pakistan's Afghan Policy after the Russia's intervention in 1979 left indefinable impact on Pakistan's society at large. But Peshawar was the worst- hit city during Afghan resistance against Russia even after that, during Taliban insurgence. Pakistan's Afghan refugee policy brought drastic changes in society, culture and economy of the city of Peshawar. Peshawar was the front line city to Afghan borders which absorbed the major influx of refugees from Afghanistan. After thirty years since the Afghan refugees settled in the city, the demography of Peshawar has been profoundly altered. This study focuses the socio-economic impact of Afghan refugees in the city of Peshawar. The study is based on primary and secondary data. Primary data are generated through community dialogue and through questionnaire. For this study, Peshawar city is divided according to demographic concentration of both communities, that is, Afghan refugees and local residents. The study reveals a stiff competition between the two communities and the culture of the city had experienced a sea-change. Family values, pattern of social interaction, gender behavior and demography had profoundly affected by the arrival of refugees. The study finally concludes that after three decades, two communities are at entanglement rather than at compromise.

Download or read book Socio economic Surveys of Male Afghan Refugees in the Refugee Villages of NWFP Final Report written by J. Morton and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results of a questionnaire-based survey carried out by male Afghan interviewers on 1241 households in refugee villages in NWFP during 1991. Background information is given on the geographic/ethnic origin of the refugees, on the year they left Afghanistan and on their previous occupations. The results confirmed that these refugees are almost all farmers. This is of crucial importance to their survival strategies in a situation where they cannot buy land and this is one reason for their concentration on unskilled labour. The survey found that although 95 per cent of the refugees intended ultimately to return home, only three per cent had plans to use the encashment scheme. The major difficulties refugees expected with repatriation were the cost of transport, the danger of mines, and the need to restore agricultural production and housing. The demography of the refugee population is described, with tables of the distribution of household size, mean household size with respect to camp, status of household head (able-bodied female, able-bodied male, etc.) and presence of able-bodied males in households. The educational status of the refugee population is examined and refugee-Pakistani relations explored. An investigation is made into registration and the actual receipt of rations. Tables of median household expenditure on foodstuffs and non-food items are included, although the author expresses doubts about their accuracy. Living conditions are expressed in terms of the distribution of rooms (or tents) per households, as well as statistics on the proportion of households living in brick houses, mud houses, and tents. The percentage of households reporting assets such as sewing machines, bicycles, etc. is given as well as the livestock holdings of the refugee population. The author provides an occupational profile for men over 16 years of age, concluding that the camp-resident Afghan population is overwhelmingly dependent on unskilled manual labour. This is mainly casual labour and the distribution of days of work per month for different age groups indicates underemployment. The question of labour migration is treated. Income is described in terms of wage rates and individual incomes, household income and per capita income. The report concludes with an appendix on the methodology of the survey and possible sources of inaccuracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores policy measures and social programmes designed to make quality education accessible to socio-economic disadvantaged groups (SEDGs) in India. It discusses the status of education of disadvantaged or marginalized groups, the discourse around education and equity in India, and innovative practices undertaken by both government and non-government institutions to increase accessibility to education. The book highlights the disparity in the quality of education available to disadvantaged groups, including religious, ethnic, and caste minorities, women and girls, transgender people, people with disabilities, and migrant or displaced children. It examines the effectiveness of initiatives and policies which have been implemented to bring quality education to the SEDG in India. It also offers suggestions and policy recommendations to bridge the disparity in education which will consequently lead to greater economic and social mobility, inclusion, and socio-economic development. The book will be of interest to teachers, students, and researchers of education, sociology, development studies, social work, and disability studies. It will also be useful for policymakers, academicians, and professionals working in the fields of education, social work, and rehabilitation.
Download or read book Deterritorialized Youth written by Dawn Chatty and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sahrawi and Afghan refugee youth in the Middle East have been stereotyped regionally and internationally: some have been objectified as passive victims; others have become the beneficiaries of numerous humanitarian aid packages which presume the primacy of the Western model of child development. This book compares and contrasts both the stereotypes and Western-based models of humanitarian assistance among Sahrawi youth with the lack of programming and near total self-sufficiency of Afghan refugee youth in Iran. Both extremes offer an important opportunity to further explore the impact which forced migration and prolonged conflict have had, and continue to have, on the lives of these refugee youth and their families. This study examines refugee communities closely linked with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and a host of other UN agencies in the case of the Sahrawi and near total lack of humanitarian aid in the case of Afghan refugees in Iran.

Download or read book The Mobility of Displaced Syrians written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-01-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war in Syria, now in its eighth year, continues to take its toll on the Syrian people. More than half of the population of Syria remains displaced; 5.6 million persons are registered as refugees outside of the country and another 6.2 million are displaced within Syria's borders. The internally displaced persons include 2 million school-age children; of these, less than half attend school. Another 739,000 Syrian children are out of school in the five neighborhood countries that host Syria's refugees. The loss of human capital is staggering, and it will create permanent hardships for generations of Syrians going forward. Despite the tragic prospects for renewed fighting in certain parts of the country, an overall reduction in armed conflict is possible going forward. However, international experience shows that the absence of fighting is rarely a singular trigger for the return of displaced people. Numerous other factors—including improved security and socioeconomic conditions in origin states, access to property and assets, the availability of key services, and restitution in home areas—play important roles in shaping the scale and composition of the returns. Overall, refugees have their own calculus of return that considers all of these factors and assesses available options. The Mobility of Displaced Syrians: An Economic and Social Analysis sheds light on the 'mobility calculus' of Syrian refugees. While dismissing any policies that imply wrongful practices involving forced repatriation, the study analyzes factors that may be considered by refugees in their own decisions to relocate. It provides a conceptual framework, supported by data and analysis, to facilitate an impartial conversation about refugees and their mobility choices. It also explores the diversified policy toolkit that the international community has available—and the most effective ways in which the toolkit can be adapted—to maximize the well-being of refugees, host countries, and the people in Syria.
Download or read book Forcibly Displaced written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Syrian refugee crisis has galvanized attention to one of the world’s foremost challenges: forced displacement. The total number of refugees and internally displaced persons, now at over 65 million, continues to grow as violent conflict spikes.This report, Forcibly Displaced: Toward a Development Approach Supporting Refugees, the Internally Displaced, and Their Hosts, produced in close partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), attempts to sort fact from fiction to better understand the scope of the challenge and encourage new thinking from a socioeconomic perspective. The report depicts the reality of forced displacement as a developing world crisis with implications for sustainable growth: 95 percent of the displaced live in developing countries and over half are in displacement for more than four years. To help the displaced, the report suggests ways to rebuild their lives with dignity through development support, focusing on their vulnerabilities such as loss of assets and lack of legal rights and opportunities. It also examines how to help host communities that need to manage the sudden arrival of large numbers of displaced people and that are under pressure to expand services, create jobs, and address long-standing development issues. Critical to this response is collective action. As work on a new Global Compact on Responsibility Sharing for Refugees progresses, the report underscores the importance of humanitarian and development communities working together in complementary ways to support countries throughout the crisis†•from strengthening resilience and preparedness at the onset to creating lasting solutions.
