Summary/Abstract

The present situation in the sphere of human resources prompts the South Korean government to work out a new strategy of migration policy, which could answer challenges of the global world. The migration processes in the Republic of Korea are of a different character. The shortage of both unskilled workers and highly-skilled specialists in the leading branches of the economy becomes very acute. In this connection migration policy in South Korea is concentrated on drawing labor resources from abroad and keeping Korean specialists at home.

When Syrian ‘Girls’ Meet Turkish ‘Boys’: Mapping Gendered Stories of Mixed Marriages / Akyuz, Selin; Tursun, Özgün

Akyuz, Selin	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This article explores the gendered experiences and negotiations of Syrian refugee women throughout forced migration processes and the different strategies during family formation that both Turkish men and Syrian women develop in mixed marriages. Its aim is to unravel fluid gendered experiences that are different from ‘reported’ stereotypical stories in the media and ‘constructed’ in the society. By doing so, we argue that the partners’ narratives in these mixed marriages enable us to map the intricate ways in which agency is used and echoed gendered experiences of couples in forced migration and family formation. We conducted in-depth interviews with eight couples voicing different narratives on how they have negotiated with forms of hierarchies, discourses and how they have refined and transformed their refuge. The incorporation of agency into our analysis unpacked (1) heterogeneity of the spouses and their experiences; (2) potential gendered spaces/discourses to be transformed/refined; and (3) nuances of multifaceted impacts of forced migration. Hence, other than macro studies and tantalizing framings in media, this research offers a dynamic reading of gendered experiences to contribute to the growing literature on Syrian refugees.
