Syrian refugees in Austria: Return unlikely!

The political landscape in Syria has changed significantly, but the return of Syrian refugees to Austria remains uncertain. AMS boss Johannes Kopf described the assumption that many Syrians would quickly return to their homeland as "wrong". At the moment, 23,988 Syrian nationals are employed in Austria, which means that their effects on the domestic labor market are estimated to be low. The numbers come from the current AMS data, which show a clear focus on the difficulties that many of these people are confronted with while building a new life.

Around 24,000 Syrians mainly work in the service sector. Most of them work in the car trade and in the repair (3,706), accommodation and gastronomy (3,645) as well as in other economic services (3,612). These figures are in the context of a larger labor market, which has a total of 3.977 million employed employees. The proportion of Syrian employees corresponds to only 0.6 percent of the total, which contains the relative meaning of their return, as well as krone.at reported.

Syria after the revolution

The future of Syria remains uncertain after a civil war over ten years of civil war. Observers agree that political stability and development into a peaceful and democratic system are still questionable. According to Sn.at Life in Austria, including asylum seekers, approximately 100,000 people of Syrian origin. Despite the changes in their home country, the vast majority of Syrians who work here are determined to continue their new life in Austria and refrain from returning. The challenges that you have to master here, especially when acquiring the German language and integration into the labor market, make your return appear unlikely.
