This book provides unique insight into the economic and humanitarian challenges facing Lebanon following the Syrian refugee crisis. It examines the drivers of GDP fluctuation, unemployment, inflation, and trade upheavals that have defined the economic condition in Lebanon over recent years and details the responses to the refugee crisis both within Lebanon and within the international community. The ways in which the refugee crisis has fundamentally changed the Lebanese economy are outlined, with a particular focus on unemployment and labour market dynamics. Practical policy recommends to aid economic resilience and adaptation are also discussed.
This book presents the challenges faced by Lebanon within a broader global narrative, drawing parallels, extracting lessons, and proposing strategies for a unified international response. It will be of interest to researchers and policymakers working within migration and labour economics.

“Mohamad Zreik’s book ... explores the economic consequences of the Syrian refugee crisis as it relates to Lebanon. Original and in-depth, it examines in detail how the mass influx of Syrian refugees shaped the economic parameters of Lebanon— in spheres such as gdp, unemployment, inflation, trade and the strain on public services. The data range is from 2011 to 2023, thus making this a very valuable resource for policymakers, academics, and humanitarian practitioners alike.” (Ananda Kumar Biswas, Farah Naj Jahan and Md. Ariful Hasan, Contemporary Arab Affairs, Vol. 18 (1), March, 2025)
