Abstract

This research examines one of the most important pillars of Syrian society: its youth, who represent the foundation of progress and development. It focuses on the attitudes of single young Syrians toward work and marriage under the current economic conditions, aiming to determine how these conditions affect their professional lives and social stability. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing a questionnaire administered to a sample of 50 unmarried men and women in Latakia Governorate, aged between 25 and 39, categorized by gender, age, educational level, and employment status.

The research concluded that there were no statistically significant differences based on gender in the attitudes of single Syrian youth towards work under the current economic conditions. However, differences were  found based on gender in the attitudes of single Syrian youth towards marriage, favoring females. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were found based on age, educational level, or employment status in the attitudes of young people towards both work and marriage.
