From education to employment? Trajectories for young people in Lebanon in the context of protracted displacement.

我们在这项研究项目中寻求解决的总体问题是：在流离失所的情况下，是什么塑造了年轻人从教育到就业的轨迹？该项目将分析黎巴嫩两个地区青年巴勒斯坦难民、青年叙利亚难民和青年黎巴嫩难民从教育到就业的轨迹。根据黎巴嫩官方的定义，年轻人在这里被定义为15岁至29岁之间的人。该项目是发展和紧急实践中心、牛津布鲁克斯大学和贝鲁特黎巴嫩美国大学黎巴嫩研究中心的合作项目。黎巴嫩是世界上接收难民最多的国家。难民的到来及其在中东的位置导致失业水平上升，经济更加脆弱，黎巴嫩和非黎巴嫩国民的各种人口的福利全面减少。黎巴嫩是难民不能自动工作的许多国家之一，在那里工作只能通过工作许可证进入。该项目将分析从教育到就业的轨迹，并与地方、国家和全球各级的政治、经济和社会发展相互作用。目前，在长期流离失所和冲突的背景下，研究儿童和青年的教育与就业前景之间的关系的研究有限。拟议的项目旨在通过关注年轻人如何从教育走向就业来纠正这一知识差距。通过一个由研究人员和实践者组成的跨学科团队，关键的想法是了解流离失所的作用以及伴随这种地位而来的特殊地位和限制。黎巴嫩是一个高度相关的例子，因为难民在不同流离失所情况下的轨迹可能与黎巴嫩年轻人的轨迹相提并论，这些年轻人可能经历过国内流离失所和冲突，但仍然拥有允许正式就业的法律地位。在呼吁更多地了解流离失所和城市环境的同时，该项目将考虑黎巴嫩的两个不同的城市环境：贝鲁特的Bourj Al Barajneh郊区和南部城镇Saida。我们在这项研究中试图回答的主要研究问题是：1.法律地位(难民、国民、移民、流离失所)及其伴随的权利和限制如何影响从教育到就业的轨迹？2.在长期流离失所的背景下，不同类型的教育(包括不受教育)与不同群体的青年就业之间的互动是什么？为了分析从教育到就业的轨迹，我们将从以下方面收集和阐述可能影响从教育到(非)就业的轨迹：a.背景、家族史、出生地和年轻人的能力b。青年个体从受教育到就业的轨迹描述c.地方背景和以地点为基础的特点d.关于教育和就业的国家和地方层面的制度安排和政策我们将对青年及其家人进行180次访谈，并进行访谈，以建立以地点和机构为基础的叙述。通过与这项研究的主要利益相关者的集体分析，我们将制定从教育到就业的典型和不寻常轨迹的概况。这些轨迹将通过家庭叙事、基于地点的叙事和机构叙事中的交叉维度来试图解释个人叙事中的转折点。从叙事来看，我们还将与我们在黎巴嫩的合作伙伴Al Jana和Blue使命密切合作，举办一场戏剧和展览。

The overall question we seek to address in this research project is: In displacement settings, what shapes the trajectories of young people from education into employment? The project will analyse the trajectories from education to employment of young Palestinian refugees, young Syrian refugees and young Lebanese in two regions of Lebanon. Young people are here defined as people between the age of 15 and 29 years old in line with the official Lebanese definition. The project is a collaboration between the Centre for Development and Emergency Practice, Oxford Brookes University and the Centre for Lebanese Studies at the Lebanese American University in Beirut.Lebanon has received the most refugees in the world relative to its population. The arrival of refugees and its location in the Middle East has contributed to increased unemployment levels, a more vulnerable economy, and an overall reduction in welfare among its diverse population of Lebanese and non-Lebanese nationals. Lebanon is one of many countries where refugees cannot automatically work and where work can only be accessed through a work permit. The project will analyse trajectories from education and into employment in interaction with political, economic and social development at local, national and global scales. Currently, there is limited research examining the relationship between education and employment prospects for children and young people in the context of protracted displacement and conflict. The proposed project seeks to rectify this gap in knowledge by focusing on how young people move from education to employment. With an interdisciplinary team of researchers and practitioners, the key idea is to understand the role of displacement and the particular status and restrictions that come with this status. Lebanon is a highly relevant example because the trajectories of refugees in varying displacement contexts may be juxtaposed with trajectories of Lebanese young people who may have experienced internal displacement and conflict, but nevertheless have a legal status that allows formal employment. With calls for more understanding of displacement and urban contexts, the project will consider two different urban contexts in Lebanon: the suburb of Bourj Al Barajneh in Beirut and the Southern town of Saida. The principal research questions we seek to answer in this research are: 1. How does legal status (refugee, national, migrant, displaced) and the accompanying rights and restrictions of that status impact trajectories from education to employment?2. What is the interaction between different types of education (including no education) and employment for different groups of young people in the context of protracted displacement? In order analyse trajectories from education to employment, we will collect and formulate narratives along the following dimensions that may impact trajectories from education to (un)employment: a. Background, family-history, place of origin and capabilities of young individualsb. Narratives of individual young people's trajectories navigating from education to employment c. Local context and place-based characteristics d. National and local level institutional arrangements and policies on education and employment We will conduct 180 interviews from young people and 180 with their families, in addition to interviews to construct place-based and institutional narratives. From a collective analysis with the principal stakeholders of this research we will formulate profiles of typical and unusual trajectories from education to employment. The trajectories will be analysed by seeking to explain turning points in individual narratives by intersecting dimensions in family narratives, place based narratives and institutional narratives. From the narratives, we will also set up a play and an exhibition in close collaboration with our partners in Lebanon Al Jana and Blue Mission.
