ABSTRACT Refugees in protracted displacement are increasingly viewed as subjects of economic development rather than financial burdens on host countries. A new policy model adopted through the Jordan Compact in 2016 positions Syrian refugees in Jordan as a development opportunity, rather than the objects of a resource-strained humanitarian assistance regime. Departing from the traditional reliance on state donors, the Jordan Compact seeks to capitalise on market-based opportunities to integrate Syrian refugees into the formal labour market, promoting self-sufficient livelihoods as well as national economic growth. This paper examines secondary data to critique the Jordan Compact’s potential to secure refugee livelihoods and labour rights. Through an analysis of the economic lives of Syrian refugees grounded in the ‘refugee economies’ theoretical framework, a human rights-based approach is explored as a means of helping the Jordan Compact to achieve its objectives. It is posited that a focus on rights can help to overcome the constraints undermining the policy’s success, building on literature promoting the inclusion of human rights principles in development and economic policy. It is also suggested that analyses of refugees’ economic lives should consider wider socio-cultural factors, given their important bearing on livelihoods.

确保叙利亚难民的经济生计：约旦契约基于人权的方法的案例

摘要 长期流离失所的难民越来越被视为经济发展的对象，而不是东道国的财政负担。2016 年通过《约旦契约》采用的新政策模式将约旦的叙利亚难民定位为发展机遇，而不是资源紧张的人道主义援助制度的对象。约旦契约摆脱了对国家捐助者的传统依赖，寻求利用市场机会将叙利亚难民融入正规劳动力市场，促进自给自足的生计和国家经济增长。本文检查了二手数据，以批评约旦契约在确保难民生计和劳工权利方面的潜力。通过基于“难民经济”理论框架对叙利亚难民的经济生活进行分析，探索了一种以人权为基础的方法，作为帮助约旦契约实现其目标的一种手段。假定关注权利有助于克服阻碍政策成功的制约因素，以促进将人权原则纳入发展和经济政策的文献为基础。还建议对难民经济生活的分析应考虑更广泛的社会文化因素，因为它们对生计有重要影响。以促进将人权原则纳入发展和经济政策的文献为基础。还建议对难民经济生活的分析应考虑更广泛的社会文化因素，因为它们对生计有重要影响。以促进将人权原则纳入发展和经济政策的文献为基础。还建议对难民经济生活的分析应考虑更广泛的社会文化因素，因为它们对生计有重要影响。
