'It is only through improved immunization planning at the settlement level, will we find and immunize every child.' Dr. Barbara Reynolds, UNICEF Nigeria's Representative a.i., emphasized the importance of protecting the health and well being of the Nigerian child.
Using a difference-in-differences strategy motivated by the regional variation in refugee settlement patterns in Turkey, we find that refugee inflows have had considerable effects on the employment outcomes of the Turkish natives, while there is no statistically significant effect on wages.
We find that the settlement reached can be vastly different from what was initially offered," says Sherwill Drake Forbes director Chris Jeffery.
